mirlezen's review against another edition

adventurous dark mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Artistically a great achievement. Kevin O' Neille draws the characters in all their ugliness and greatness at the same time. The story, a fancy and well written way of celebrating several fictional characters from the Victorian era, was engaging and at times the pages couldn't turn fast enough. I also really enjoyed the extra details like the travelling journals. (Only wish they put that in comic form,

especially Mina and Allan reuniting, their romance was unexpected, but in the end I rooted for them

) But the amount of sexual violence you get in every issue of TLoEG was disturbing. I think Moore could have skipped it for a big part.
