V for Vendetta is a frightening and powerful story about the loss of freedom in a totalitarian England. Written against a background of third term Thatcherism and tabloid rants against minorites this is a work of startling clarity and intelligence. Everything that comics weren't supposed to be. Returning to print after a long absence fans of Alan Moore, old and new can now enjoy this remarkable piece of storytelling - a true classic of comic literature. -- Publisher details.

"This was good, but something about it made it drag a little. Maybe it was to 1980s anti-neoliberal? The politics seem a little heavy handed and reminded me how I felt about reading Marx in college. It's still good. I wish it was more cool V fights and less boring V politics. A drama driven prequel would be great!"

"I know that we're all supposed to love Alan Moore's work, and while he is undoubtedly talented, I find that when you've read a lot of his work, there's a bit of sameness to it all. While the ideas behind V for Vendetta are great and some scenes are very powerful, there's also a lot of filler here. It's slow and overwritten and I don't think the work has the raw power that many people believe it contains."
