Anarchy is not a good ideal to have, however a corrupt or oppressive government should be fought against, no matter what side of the political spectrum it’s on. Revolution is what America was founded on. Just because a corrupt government…

The prescience of the comic (and movie) grows more and more amazing as time passes. As administrations push ideological dogma into education while cracking down on freedom of medical choice, travel, speech, etc, one would have to be…

Absolutely phenomenal book! I grew up with the movie, and now having read the graphic novel, I'd say I have a greater appreciation for the movie and a substantially increased respect for Alan Moore's work. Superb and moving; thought…

Isn’t it funny how context changes the meaning of a piece of literature, a work of art, a song that captures the Zeitgeist? Back in the early 1980’s when Adam Moore’s graphic novel “V for Vendetta” was first published, I would have…

I saw the movie long before I read this and, while there were differences, I believe the celluloid version did a good job of capturing the essence of the graphic novel. The GN, written by the venerable Alan Moore, is outstanding and there…

Fairly cool book. I'm not sure Alan Moore completely had a story in mind though -- more like a bunch of ideas, ultimately coming off more than a bit disjointed. My understanding is that he complained about the film (but then my…

With its cultural impact, V for Vendetta is a huge disappointment. I noticed the same problem in Watchmen and in this book it's even worse: the characters talk way too much. Speech bubbles are not for whole paragraphs! Just get on with it!…

It's probably not fair to comment on a book by comparing it to the author's other work, but this is the first time I've been underwhelmed by an Alan Moore creation. Maybe it just didn't feel like the character development was on par with…

V for Vendetta takes place when Evey is rescued by a mysterious stranger in a mask who calls himself V. It is revealed that V is set on making people realize that the government controlled version of London where this book is set, is not…

I would honestly give this book 3 stars. The plot was well written and the art was amazing. But they’re so many deeper meanings in the book that’s hard to understand. The main character in this book is “V”. The book talks a lot about…

More questionable in ethics than Watchmen, but gripping nonetheless and highly creative. 4/5

Never have I enjoyed the story of a man (V would surely prefer to be called an idea) motivated by vengeance so much. Such a story of a murderous, fascist government is, unfortunately, timeless; certain elements felt all too real. A great…

I have a rule of thumb. If possible, I watch the movie adaptation first and the book second. "V is for Vendetta" is one of my favorite combinations. The sublime Natalie Portman and her costar give dazzling performances in the film…

I don't usually read Graphic Novels. After watching the movie however, I felt I had to, and it was just as enjoyable!

V for Vendetta is another great work of art by Alan Moore. Set in a dystopian, totalitarian England in 1997, the controlling government has been corrupted by power, greed, and fascism. The main character, a mentally questionable…

A very thought provoking graphic novel! Alan Moore is a master at his craft!

I saw the movie and decided I had to give it a read. Def one of my new favorites :)

I read the graphic novel after seeing the movie, and I was expecting that I would mostly be reading the same story. However, the movie changed a few things. The graphic novel has a more intricate plot, with more major subplots. The final…

I've picked it up because of the Mask on the front cover. A mask that we see often in street contestations. Other wise, I didn't find the book (Comic strips) that alluring. They could have done more with the character. The story is often…

I had placed a hold on it in the library, then decided that it would most likely to be worth it to purchase it (with a giftcard I had lying around), and it was. Took me a couple of days to read it, but mostly because I was reading a bit at…

I have been wanting to read this book ever since I saw the movie. I finally got around to reading it. I liked it for the most part, but in my opinion it did not have the gravity that the movie possessed. Several of the plot lines were…

The classic V for Vendetta, found atop many 'best of' graphic novel lists, is a dark, muddled work of raw energy. Its genius cuts through like a lighthouse—often a confusing fog and then, there it is, brilliance. Given all the praise…

Yet another project by the acclaimed Alan Moore that is worth investigating. I wish I had known that the movie was based on this graphic novel, I would have skipped it and just read this. At first I wasn't very happy with the art in the…

Excellent graphic novel. The print version makes a good add-on to the movie.
