As good as everyone says it is. Loses half a star because the way it treats the female characters. 

6 estrellas de 5. Increíble forma de narrar, todos los personajes son memorables, el cuidado del detalle es perfecto. Nada más tengo para decir. Tal vez no podré dormir esta noche.

*Reread*

Such an excellent look into who and what can have a monopolization of violence, utilizing everyday interactions and creating (well, mostly) well developed, unique characters with amazing art, multimodality, and composition to top it all off.

A clever comic but not clever enough to include it as one of the best English-language novels since 1923.

While incredibly intense, the turns and nuances that the characters went though we're all internally consistent. the start I disliked all of them and by the end there were a few I actively hated (ozymandias, maybe dr Manhattan) I understood why every action they took felt true and right to them. I'm glad I got to know these people.
