"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."
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.
