I like it, but the scheduling is crap. Still, the art is nice, and the story is good so far.

Are there any full on steampunk live action movies apart from the craptastic Wild Wild West abortion?

I think the closest is League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. But that movie was blistered ass.

There was a TV series back in the day, something like...The Adventures of Jules Verne, maybe?

Oh, here it is.

one of the book review blogs I follow reviews a lot more steampunk stuff than I do

Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti by Genevieve Valentine he gave 8.5 out of 10
The Half-Made World by Felix Gilman he gave 8.5
The Horns of Ruin by Tim Akers he gave 7.5
Anti-Ice by Stephen Baxter he gave 8
Dreadnought by Cherie Priest he gave 8.5
The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder he gave 8

I've read a few but nothing that knocked my socks off, I think he likes steampunk more than I do though.

And I don't know if your a Brandon Sanderson fan, but apparently he wrote a followup to his mistborn trilogy that is set more in the future of his fantasy world and it looked steampunk. I think it either came out recently or is coming out soon.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the Difference Engine, the book largely credited to kickstarting the spread of steampunk.

I read Paul Di Filippo's 1995 Steampunk Trilogy, consisting of three short novels: "Victoria," "Hottentots," and "Walt and Emily," (imagined the replacement of Queen Victoria by a human/newt clone, an invasion of Massachusetts by Lovecraftian monsters, and a love affair between Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson)

I really liked the first story, 2nd was ok, and 3rd just dragged on and on....

I thought it was Rogue. There's a bit of white in the hair plus the full length gloves.

oh. yeah. you appear to be correct. uh.. that's why I had "Jean Grey" in quotes. Because I really knew it was Rogue. Yep, that's the ticket.

Combining steampunk with zombie fiction in an alternate Civil War era timeline.
