We all have our all-star list of character that you wished would get together and be involved in an adventure. The comic/ graphic novels of The League of Extraordinary Gentleman that's exactly what has happened.

Mina Murray has been divorced by her husband and left to fend for herself after the battle against Dracula, which has left her an immortal member of the undead. The British government asked her to create a league of extraordinary people to protect the nation from extraordinary threats. Murray recruits the famed adventurer Allan Quartermain, invisible man Hawley Griffin, Captain Nemo and Dr. Jekyl/ Mr. Hyde.

They are tasked with defeating Fu Manchu and recover the rare mineral cavorite, which Fu Manchu plans to use to create and invincible airship and destroy Britain. Needless to day, there is much adventure and many more well known character enter the world during the journey.

The comic books/ graphic novel were a major success and even spawned a movie starting Sean Connery as Quartermain. They battled the forces of Prof. Moriarty as he attempted to create an army of super machines and create a world war.

I love these books because its fun to see my favorite character of literature interact. The writers do an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and their interactions are believable. Mina acts as your think she would given her rather odd circumstances. I hope there are more planned for the future.
