Evey's pretty great, too. Mrs. Almond's descent made sense, of course, and I'm glad it was she who assassinated the archduke. I guess it's all GLARINGLY OBVIOUS, the whys and what have yous, but the pacing is incredible as well, and for all the pontificating and exposition there are many many wordless panels, which make for a nice break from the talking talking talking, and remind you how crucial the art is to the mood and the plot.

Speaking of too many words, I believe that's quite enough. Oh yes, and I saw the movie first, thought it was interesting but kind of obvious. The book's themes are obvious too, yes, but overall it's nuanced and the art is dynamic and everything is much much better.]]>
