Not every story that is pitched to publishers sees the light of day. That's exactly what happened in the late 1980s when, off the success of Watchmen, its writer Alan Moore attempted to pitch a massive DC crossover event titled Twilight of Superheroes. The pitch was denied and the story never saw the light of day, but what if it did? In this in-depth episode we comb through all 33 pages of Alan Moore's pitch which is full to the brim with violence, depression and the derelict heroes that has made the writer famous. Join us as we discuss whether this project was ever worth making, and what impact the comics industry has had on Alan Moore's psyche. It is sure to be one HELLBLAZING episode!

Major Issues 115: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) Review!
Comment
What do you get when you cross a vampire, a colonist, an invisible man, a shape-shifting monster and a pirate? Why you get the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! The comic written co-created in the late 90's by the prolific Alan Moore centered around some of literature's greatest figures as they band together to stop one of histories greatest villains in a plot to take over the world. The 2003 adaptation, which has the strange distinction of being Sean Connery's last film, has some of those moments, and add a bunch of new ones, but does it hold up to the original? Check out this episode to find out!
