I usually don't like it when authors seem to have swallowed a thesaurus, but it kind of works here—probably because Moore actually knows what the words he's using mean.

pickVery interesting book. I did struggle with reading it on its own without constantly comparing it to the movie. However, it was interesting to see the similarities and differences. Overall, I did like the book, and found it to be thought provoking.
I borrowed this from my local library today. I normally don't read graphic novels, but I figured I'd give it a try. I've seen the movie, so I'm curious how it will compare.
If you like V for Vendetta, check out my short fiction: The Silence Dividend.

pickI love the movie and it's taken me this long to read the comic. Both have their pros and cons - I wish the movie could've fleshed out the minority focus more, I wish the comic had more Gordon (Stephen Fry) but both are brilliant.
bailedPacked it in on page 7 when “The bellowing meat locomotive throws its weight into the wall of constables, with as much blood as possible its only politics” was a sentence my brain had to take in.
panI didn't care for it. It was confusing and way over my head with the dialogue throughout the book.

pick31/150 I read these when they originally came out in the 80s, but you gain a different perspective, like when you binge watch a tv series, reading several issues together. Alan Moore turned Swamp Thing from a meh superhero comic into one of the best horror comics ever written. His way with words, subtle but terrifying, and the art by Bissette & Totleben made this one of the best comics to come out
of the 1980s. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
