Researching and writing about comic books turned big box office films has been the most fun for me this last year - as well as, the most exhausting work. At first glance, I was ready to dismiss The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as pure Hollywood exploitation for the all mighty dollar. But when I heard Sean Connery was going to play one of these "super heroes" I felt I owed it to him to dig deeper into the comic legend. As it turned out, this was not your typical comic book story, at all.
