ALT Comics?

So basically just post random PODs involving comic series that either weren't written the same way in OTL, or weren't written at all.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: A monthly comic series published by America's Best Comics between 1998 and 2010. Written by Alan Moore and drawn by Kevin O'Neill.

Not gonna happen, Moore was working on Tom Strong, Top ten, and most importently Promethea early on, he'd have to cut back big time to focus on the league. The first two maybe, but promethea was one of Moore's most personal comics and I don't see him abandoning it, to speed up loeg.

Also O'neil isn't the worlds fastest artist, so he'd either have to speed up (and compromise the detail) or use a filler artist and then it would'nt be the league, would it?

All reasons why it wasn't published that way in OTL, but it could potentially have been created this way in another timeline, and would be a mind blowingly good read.
 
For some reason the first thing that came to mind when I was reading the first post, was Story by Alan Moore and the actual script being done by some other writer. Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison come to mind but they might do one or two story each before handling it to someone else. Maybe someone like James Robinson or Matt Wagner. They would be more likely to do long runs on the book.

I assume that someone else would take over for O Neil and he would most likely do the covers but someone else would do the interior art on the comics.
Don't know who would be the choice here. But I sure that no matter who took over for O Neil , the Fans are going to hate it.
