A powerful story about loss of freedom and individuality, V for Vendetta takes place in a totalitarian England following a devastating war that changed the face of the planet. In a world without political freedom, personal freedom and precious little faith in anything comes a mysterious man in a white porcelain mask who fights political oppressors through terrorism and seemingly absurd acts. It's a gripping tale of the blurred lines between ideological good and evil.
In parts disturbing, in parts fascinating. I didn't care for the art style at all, in fact I found some of the party guys drawn so similar that I had a really tough time telling them apart. Overall, it was just a touch too philosophical for me to make it four stars, but I enjoyed reading it in any case.
