"A frightening and powerful tale of the loss of freedom and identity in a chillingly believable totalitarian world, V For Vendetta stands as one of the highest achievements of the comics medium and a defining work for creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd.

Set in an imagined future England that has given itself over to fascism, this groundbreaking story captures both the suffocating nature of live in an authoritarian police state and the redemptive power of the human spirit which rebels against it. Crafted with sterling clarity and intelligence, V For Vendetta brings an unequaled depth of characterisation and verisimilitude to its unflinching account of oppression and resistance."

Review of 'V for vendetta' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

[this is not much of a review, but i felt like writing about reading this...]

i bought the first five issues of v for vendetta when dc published them in 1988, but at that time, i had trouble getting into it. perhaps it was because i was reading it one issue at a time as they came out.

years pass, and i did see the 2006 movie, but i barely remember a thing about it (i tend to forget things alarmingly easily), so i don't think the movie viewing affected my experience of reading this much (for example, i remembered that there was a train with explosives at the end, but not that v was dead and on the train, heh). i mostly remember flying knives, and natalie portman's shaved head...

anyway! this past christmas, while visiting my parents, i noticed that the 5 issues i bought were still on …
