Product Description
Chapter Two takes place in the psychedelic daze of Swinging London during 1969, a place where Tadukic Acid Diethylamide 26 is the drug of choice, and where different underworlds are starting to overlap dangerously to an accompaniment of sit-ins and sitars. The vicious gangster bosses of London's East End find themselves brought into contact with a counter-culture underground of mystical and medicated flower-children, or amoral pop-stars on the edge of psychological disintegration and a developing taste for Satanism. Alerted to a threat concerning the same magic order that she and her colleagues were investigating during 1910, a thoroughly modern Mina Murray and her dwindling league of comrades attempt to navigate the perilous rapids of London's hippy and criminal subculture, as well as the twilight world of its occultists. Starting to buckle from the pressures of the twentieth century and the weight of their own endless lives, Mina and her companions must nevertheless prevent the making of a Moonchild that might well turn out to be the antichrist!

Do want.

But I skipped Black Dossier based on all the bad press, and whatever that other one was (1912?). Does anyone think I can get by?

You'd probably want to get 1910. It's part of a loose trilogy with 1969, the planned third part being (I believe) 2010.

I only have the first trade, but I'm intrigued by this. Love thr epremise. Not a big fan of Kevin O'Neill's art however.

Actually, that said, you could probably start with 1969, and then if you like that, go back and pick up 1910.

The comics have gotten more and more modular since Volume 2, where they just jump around in time and they all refrence each other but you can kind of read them in any order.

And most of us would be probably dead by the time of it's release.

But it's so richly rewarding that Jay should get them all.

Yeah, they're a bit behind. I wonder if they'll change the title of the third one to match the year of release? Of keep it as "2010" to maintain the "Century" thing.

I agree, but I know better than to go too far with my recommendations to Jay. I already pushed it by responding to his question at all.

I'll stake Doot's reputation on it.

You'll need to add some more to make a proper ante.

I like O'Neill's art about as much as I like Moore's writing. To me the combination sounds almost like the Anti-Life Equation.

This seems pretty awesome.

I shall indeed read it.

Have still not read Black Dossier yet though. Didn't even know 1910 existed.
