Alan Moore is often regarded as a juggernaut of the comics world. And many times, that's true. No matter how many times I read Watchmen, I find myself completely drawn in. As a person who in general does not give a flying cluck about Superheroes, Watchmen is the constant exception to that rule. Similarly, V for Vendetta is a superb showing of Moore at his best. This is no Watchmen or V for Vendetta. The storytelling is washed out, the hyper-sexualized portrayals of women are cringe worthy, and the plotlines are messy. Disappointing, with the exception of some fantastic illustration by Kevin O'Neil.
