La ligue des Gentlemen Extraordinaires #1
"Rêves d'Empire" marks a pivotal moment in the La ligue des Gentlemen Extraordinaires series, with Alan Moore and Geneviève Coulomb teaming up to deliver a richly layered tale. Kevin O'Neill’s distinctive art, joined by the dynamic inks of Lawrence Berry and the vivid colors of Benedict Dimagmaliw, brings to life a sky filled with motorized balloons and kites as the League confronts Moriarty’s aerial assault. The cover, a collaborative effort by O'Neill and Berry, captures the chaos above Limehouse with striking precision.
In "Fantômes et miracles," Mlle Murray, Allan Quatermain, and Auguste Dupin take down Mister Hyde, but their journey isn't over—without Dupin, the trio, joined by Nemo, heads to Mlle Roosa Coote’s house of correction for young women, where they track down the elusive, invisible Hawler Griffin. The story unfolds with sharp wit and suspense, blending classic adventure with the strange and the uncanny.
In "Mystères d'orient," Mlle Murray and Hawley Griffin visit Quong Li, who cryptically warns them that "the water stirs beneath the sky’s bridge" and that a dragon lies beneath the surface. Following Quong Li’s clue, Mlle Murray and Allan Quatermain venture into a hidden tunnel, where they uncover a breathtaking aerial device, deepening the mystery of the ancient secrets they’ve begun to unravel.
In "Dieux exterminateurs," Allan, Hyde, and Mina race against time to secure the cavorite amid a tense escape from the Doctor’s fortress. With Hyde creating a diversion, Allan breaks through the tunnel’s glass, and Mina activates the cavorite device to lift them to safety above the Thames. Back on the surface, the device is handed over to Campion Bond, who delivers it to James Moriarty—whose true allegiance remains shrouded in mystery.
In "Quelque puissance obscure...", Hawley Griffin learns that Moriarty plans to harness cavorite to power his own airship and destroy the Doctor, Limehouse, and possibly the Nautilus—setting a tense race against time in a world where science and sabotage collide.
In "Le jour de gloire," the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen takes to the skies in the airship Victoria, racing against Moriarty’s aerial bombardment of Limehouse. As Nemo and Mister Hyde battle Moriarty’s forces from the deck, Mlle Murray and Quatermain work to secure the ship’s vital cavorite, while Mycroft Holmes issues a final command—just as the sky itself begins to fall.
