v for Vendetta surely is a classic. everybody knows the movie and remembers the 5th of november and there are countless dudebros who celebrate this book for it seemingly celebrating anarchy.
well it took me a very long time to read because i had a hard time distinguishing characters and understanding the subtle way in which the story is told in this comic.
i cannot see how it is celebrating anarchy when it says in the end, that we need to say goodbye to destruction and murderers to move the country and the people forward. to secure justice and peace. for me the book shows the importance of overcoming the state of anarchy but also that it can be a way to overthrow a strict government. it just has to be temporary.
anyway those things don't have much to do with reading the book itself. i really liked it and enjoyed the time i spent reading it. this was my first comic (normally i read manga or regular books) and the art style just fascinated me troughout the whole book. it is so differnt than the japanese manga style and the use of the negative space is really clever. the way quotes and lyrics are incorporated in the story makes it feel very real and meaningful.
all in all i really liked this book.
would i recommend it?
definitly. even though i would add that it is probably best to read it in your native language even if you think your english is good. i thik it will make it much easier to pick all the details up and just insure a better time with the comic
