Totally lived up to the hype and I'm really sad it's finished. So many themes and moral discussions that are highly relevant to today. I'm glad I finally got to read it.

Bit of a bummer. Kinda graphic for a novel.

First ever graphic novel. I don't 'do' sci-fi or fantasy or superheroes but for some reason this hooked me good and proper. V for Vendetta next?

Один з найкращих графічних романів, і точно найкращий в жанрі супергеройки, тут відбувається деструктиризація цього жанру та його переосмислення. Безліч відсилок та чудові ілюстрації в перемішку з документальними виносками чудово розгортають сюжет та оживляють його

I'll probably come back to this review after I've let this all...marinate a bit. Maybe.

Right now my feeling is one of disappointment. I wanted to LOVE this. I thought I would. I was loving it. Loving the morally gray characters. The relationship complications. Learning how the big blue guy became blue. The random or not so random deaths. Rorschach's real identity (or is it?
