Anarchy Lives

Ross D. - 1 year 2 months ago

A beautifully arranged story that begs the question, could this really happen? It's not too far-fetched to believe that a government could churlishly drive a man to the point of vigilantism. The story follows Evey Hammond, a 16-year-old pupil of the stories main protagonist V, and together they unleash an anarchic revolution in the search for what's just and right in a society that has lost its morals and values on humankind. The story is written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. Lloyd does a great job of giving the comic panels a gritting and eye-popping elegance that brings the overall feel to the story. And Moore raises some interesting questions about a future society in which people live in fear.

Not as razor sharp as the film adaptation

MICHAEL E. - 4 years 11 months ago

While all the elements from the Wachowski brothers film adaptation is there, the graphic novel itself (by Alan Moore & David Lloyd) adds various secondary characters and sub-plots that (for me) diluted the razor-sharp focus that was the incendiary opus set to film. The essence of which can be summed up in the immortalized quote: “People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.” #SpringPicks
Still relevant and beautiful

Very pertinent in this quasi-authoritarian Trump era. I first read it 30 years ago and re-read it last year, just as good as I remembered. The art is fantastic and the characters are memorable and complex. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Watchmen and is curious about Alan Moore's other great works.
