Details
Based on a best selling comic book, LXG sees reknowned adventurer Allan Quatemain leading a team of extraordinary historical figures to battle the technologically advanced terror being unleashed on the world, by a madman known as ’The Fantom.’ The league comprises the skills of an Inventor (Captain Nemo), a Vampire (Mina Harker), an Immortal (Dorian Gray), an Invisible Man (Rodney Skinner), a Secret Service agent (Tom Sawyer) and a Beast (Dr Jekyll/ Mr Hyde). Using the unique skills of each member of the League, boss ’M’ hopes to stop The Fantom before he destroys the world.
Although LXG received mixed reviews in the States when it was released in July, i’m still looking forward to seeing it and i’m going to reserve any judgement til it comes out next month!
