The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Reading Order

  By , , , , , ,


A Victorian Era Justice League

A little series by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill, which began as a Victorian Era Justice League featuring the familiar characters of that era’s fiction, but eventually expanded into the modest ambition of eventually including basically every piece of fiction ever. Along the way, it moved from America’s Best Comics (an imprint of WildStorm Comics published under the aegis of DC Comics) to a wholly creator-owned new home at Top Shelf Productions.

That said, a fantastic set of series, with loving attention to detail shining from every panel. This timeline also includes the annotations to the various volumes, since you’ll be missing at least half of the references without them.

Despite its original publisher, it is not a part of the America’s Best Comics Universe.

1898 — The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume I
Annotations by Jess Nevins: Heroes & Monsters: The Unofficial Companion to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
1898 — The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume II
Annotations by Jess Nevins: A Blazing World: The Unofficial Companion to the Second League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
1910 — The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume III: Century #1
 
1925 — Nemo: Heart of Ice
 
1941 — Nemo: The Roses of Berlin
 
1958 — The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Black Dossier
Annotations by Jess Nevins: Impossible Territories: An Unofficial Companion to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
1969 — The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume III: Century #2
 
1975 — Nemo: River of Ghosts

2010 — The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume IV: Tempest

The Mad Max Chronology

  By , , , , , ,

A few years from now…

The Cars That Ate Paris
1974 film on DVD.
Included because some car designs in Fury Road are clearly inspired by the iconic car design in this film – for purposes of this timeline, it’s the same car.
Market Forces

Morgan has specifically identified Mad Max as an inspiration for the story, describing it as an unofficial addition to the world of the film – while it has no direct connection, it is set in the same societal decay that opens the first film, albeit in England, rather than Australia.

Mad Max
1979 film on Blu-ray.
Mad Max
1990 NES game.
Appears to be set before The Road Warrior, based on the appearance of the V8 Interceptor.
