8.5
This was actually not a hard sell. Its somewhat of an American version of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen set in 1898 with all larger than life historical folk heroes. I could see this being a role-playing game. I wasn't that familiar with writer Adam Glass or artist Pat Oliffe but they both had a large body of work and collaborated on this series for 17 issues between 2016-2018. It was a smart story with good covers and visuals. I found it enjoyable but not near as definitive as Moore and O'Neil's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (which in turn got its influence from PJ Farmer's Wold Newton Universe). 8.5/10 This volume got a 4.3 on Amazon, 3.78 on Goodreads, and a 8.6 Critic Rating on Comic Book Round Up.
