Remember Remember The 5th of November...
The first volume, 4 chapters of the epic "V for Vendetta"
Did you notice the 4 chapters starts with V? , and the rest of them too at least at the first Book..
It starts with huge act of rebellion, resonate, the Gunpowder plot.
"For more on this old real life rebellion, you can check this new BBC miniseries"
Then Alan Moore takes us smoothly into learning more about this Dystopia England, and how it turns into this mess -and what the hell happened to the world ...more

Stupid Hollywood! Stupid, stupid Hollywood!
For years, I was under the impression that V for Vendetta was one of those silly comics only fanboys with an unexplainable taste for pulpy stories could ever love. I was sure it wasn't worth my time. I was sure I'd not like it at all.
All because I didn't care for the film adaptation with Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman, didn't care for the story told in it, which I found boring and inferior even for a run-of-the-mill utopia. And, boy, was I wrong. The ...more

The multiplying villanies of nature
Do swarm upon him—from the western isles
Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied;
And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling,
Show'd like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak:
For brave Macbeth—well he deserves that name—
Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel,
Which smoked with bloody execution,
Like valour's minion carved out his passage
Till he faced the slave;
Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him

THIS WAS AMAZING!
V for Vendetta is my favorite movie ever, and I was worried to see what the comic book held because I had really high expectations.
Luckily this lived up to those expectations! I adored every little detail of it, especially since it had a lot more information about characters than the movie did.
I'm definitely continuing on with these books

Definitely continuing this series. Off to an amazingly mysterious start!
As a beginner to the genre of the graphical novel/comic, I must say that this apocalyptic vision of the future has left me impressed. What most writers wouldn't be unable to convey in a 200 page novel, has been very effectively conveyed in this 34 page creation. No doubt since it is a work written way back in 1988, the graphical gloss make seem missing but the content more than makes up for it.

Trigger warnings: war, etc. Warnings of some disabled slurs used within the comic; “queer” used to mean funny. Racism and homophobia – black and gay people being sent to concentration camps.
In the first instalment of V for Vendetta we are introduced to a world in the future, after a nuclear war that has left the world wrecked; mostly through floods and crop failures. The fascist party, Norsefire, has destroyed their enemies in concentration camps, and now they run the country as a police state. ...more

It reminds me of Orwell's 1984: a heavy critic against political fascism and authoritarianism.
Like in 1984, in this series the government controls every move of its citizens and decides what each one can or cannot do. Culture, art, and freedom are things of the past, only governmental content is available.
V, who was tortured in a concentration camp, is a violent and genius man who wants to bring the government down - V for Vendetta.

The graphic novel V for Vendetta by Alan Moore is about a masked 'terrorist' named V who tries to free Britain from a totalitarian government. Along the way, He picks up a young woman named Evey and brings her along for the ride. This graphic novel switches from Evey and V's point of view, to the governments, which made me wonder who was right and who is wrong.

This is by far the best comic book series I have ever read. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. My only criticism would be of the poor quality paper and color printing that went into the comics. If you happen to think that comic book writing is too plain or simple, pick up the first in this series and I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Exciting beginning. The entrance of V was all sudden and mesmerizing. The mess he made, the way he talked and moved, the wit he showed- all made him a true anarchist.
Can't wait to finish the series asap.
Nothing is compared to see the V in his Vengeance mode!

"Who are you?"
"I am the king of the twentieth century, I'm the bogeyman, I'm the Villain, The Black Sheep of the Family"
Simply Remarkable..

[I read [book:V for Vendetta] as a series eleven installments, of which ten are the actual story and one a summary of the creative process, so this will be one review repeated across each. I have individual marks for each installment, explained in part in the volume chronology (see the spoiler.)]

Uhhh and it begins .. I fell in love with the story when I saw the movie. This is a ten part story by Great Alan Moore and tells the story of an alternate reality where UK is ruled by a right wing party. The story is set in London in 1997 and begins on the Night of 5th of November. 'Remember Remember the 5th of November ...'. The only difference from the beginning is that Evey is only 16 years old in comics not older like Natalie Portman. I will gobble up remaining parts soon.
What is this!
It's not the movie at all. But i liked it. I love V

A great story with strong political commentary.
Fast start and amazing character development. I also love the art style and graphics of this comic book. I'm excited to read the next ones in the series!
just call me alan moore critical :)
I just finished it for the same week and I really enjoyed it. I loved how at first the story lines didn't seem to have anything to do with each other but slowly details were revealed to show how they are all connected.
"Remember remember... The fifth of November"
5 stars
Read only for book challenge. Graphic novels are not for me at all.
Remember .. Remember The 5th of November !
I really liked it and recommend it for writers at all levels.
