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 life 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 characterization and verisimilitude to its unflinching account of oppression and resistance.
I've watched some clips from the movie adaptation before. Well the "Ideas are bulletproof" scene was much more badass in the movie, for example, but I still really enjoyed the comic. It was fucking epic! Kudos to Alan Moore, David Lloyd, and everyone else who worked on the comic!
I love V, I love Evey, and I love that one "Bollocks" kid! Alongside that, Ms. Almond and Dr. Surridge were pretty interesting characters, and Mr. Finch's redemption arc was pretty cool.
Edit: I forgot to say that Valerie Page is also very cool, I love her too
