dark sad slow-paced

1.0

Sadly, I did not like this graphic novel at all.  I finished it because it was for a challenge. I found it dark, confusing, too political, and disturbing.  There were too many storylines going on.

Ah, yet another one of Moore's works where I love the story idea but just get SO angry with the man for his completely unnecessary and downright distasteful use of sexual violence as some kind of a panel filler?? Ugh. Knowing before going in that that's what you get with Moore makes it somewhat easier, but still, come on. That's just lazy writing, dude.

One of the main characters,

Evey,

is a minor who is repeatedly sexualised and even has a sexual relationship with an adult man. The government is a white supremacist fascist group that is described to have imprisoned and killed many people from marginalised communities, notably black, gay, and jewish people.
