I don't blame Moore for being appalled for what happened to LXG. And, you know, after that, I know that any compromise is probably going to be seen as too much to him -- I don't blame him for being gunshy and wanting nothing of the Hollywood "creative" process (Jon Peters on Superman Returns, anyone?). But Lloyd's actually right -- there aren't many compromises made here. There are a few cringeworthy modifications, but otherwise, it's spot on.
Alan Moore's ego, on anyone else, would just be infuriating. But, sadly, nobody's done more for the field of illustrated narrative in the last quarter-century than Alan Moore.
