Not really sure how Performance or some random Ian Sinclair novel compares to that

None of these are part of any LOEG team; the first two volumes feature plenty of characters that aren't super or science heroes outside of the team, too.

Fanboy faves ?

Unsurprisingly, Moore doesn't make it through Providence without a rape scene.

(The book itself is fine, the issues are a recasting of various Lovecraft short stories but it falls apart in the end.)

iirc Black Dossier was very badly received at the time it came out. I agree with sic though, that after the first two volumes it only really becomes about metatext and format jokes which Tempest probably does better than the preceding volumes (and I don't think the Janni books are necessarily much worse than those surrounding them).

“Fanboy faves” = James Bond?
