          <body><![CDATA[Quite a bit of philosophical thought and discourse in this graphic novel.  The over-riding question (I think) was whether the end justifies the means in a society gone wrong.  There are some solid parallels to where the U.S. is right now, so it was interesting (and entertaining) to read.]]></body>
