The art and the story are top tier. A little "edge lordy" at moments, but it helps solidify that the characters are not good people.
I enjoyed how intricate and webbed the story is.
I loved how the "camera" moved in a lot of the scenes. The color pallette was interesting and helped add an extra layer to the novel.

Will read again!

Reread for my pop culture in the 20th century class. Alan Moore has a lot of stuff he needs to work out and almost definitely never will, for example the whole plotline with The Comedian and Sally Jupiter is grooossss

This was my first graphic novel and although I tried to hide the fact that I was reading a big comic book when I was in public, I did anyway. The stories and drawing were compelling although I found myself wanting a larger synthesis where each chapter seemed to just be detailing different characters.
