Kevin O'Neill's art is not to everyone's taste. I think he was going for the look of penny-dreadfuls, and I think he succeeded magnificently.

No argument there. It's just that I'm not into that particular art form. I like the later pulp art better. (40s and later.) So the movie's obvious bow in that direction was something I appreciated better.

I'm sure the comics are good for those who liked them. I'm just not one of that group.

I don't disagree with you, save for the problem that I found it damned near impossible to follow the story as a result. I bought the first series and never went back.

I miss Waid and Guice's Ruse, which had a similar sort of Victorian feel to it, but which was much easier on my eyes. :) (I keep hoping that he'll recover the rights to the series out of the CrossGen bankruptcy somehow.)
