A masterpiece by Moore and Gibson introduces and follows Halo Jones as the hero in a dystopian, overcrowded and violent future. Her character will grow and at the end of the series you see a complete transformation. If there is something to want is that the series ended too abruptly, but the plot threads served by Moore were all perfect enough to compensate for it.

This was my second attempt to read this, and, to be honest, I almost bailed halfway through book one. I mean, this is by Alan Moore, easily one of my top five favorite writers so why is it not drawing me in. Then.. something clicked and it became a fascinating character study in a fascinating sci-fi world that is both familiar and unique, at the same time. Glad I powered through.

Feminist dystopian science fiction, and officially one of my favorite comic books ever.

It actually took me a little bit to get into this, particularly with all the made up language/slang that's heavily flung at you in the beginning. I was just kind of meh about the first book. It felt kind of cheesy over the top at first, but as it went along I got used to it and the slang also got a little less used as well. The second and third books really picked up and made book 1 retrospectively better. As a whole I really liked it.
