    Do we know if we're reading all three volumes or just volume 1?

    I think the nomination was only for the Volume 1 but, if anyone happens to read the others too, I don't see why they should not be discussed as well.

    There are short stories and fake victorian ads included with the graphic novel.

    Me too. It sure isn't like the movie. Copious quantities of violent rape, anyone?

    Best ice breaker ever, "Hey guys! How 'bout that rape, eh?"

    Hmm, if we want to speak about it seriously. We can talk about how Moore makes use of the metafictional aspects. His retooling of Victorian plots, characters, obscure references, and the use of a sort of fin de siecle art-deco style.
