In a world in which superheroes have had their day, they are beginning to be outlawed and vigilantes hunted. A commentary on authoritarianism as even superheroes cannot avoid corruption. Poses the question of "who watches the watchmen?"

I love comic books and graphic novels so why I haven't read this yet I have no idea. But I finally read it and wow. I loved it so much. The complexity of the characters and the gorgeous art. It's just fantastic. Easily the best graphic novel ever.

A phenomenal text that subverted the traditional comic book genre. It was denser than I expected going in but still reccomend a read through
