One of the best things I have ever read. The complexity of the characters astounded me.

I'm not really going to go to in depth in this review..so I'll keep it short and sweet.I understand the massive amount of praise and hype given to this graphic novel. At the time of its publication, I believe that there were not a lot of books created with the subject matter. However, I'm reading ...

It's an Alan Moore graphic novel... this says everything. It's a classic, and the hardcover edition of 2009 is wonderful. I recommended it.5 stars it's not enough

This was way better than the film. I kind of saw the plot with Ozymandias coming, but not from too far away. I also had the feeling that Comedian was Laurie's father by the way the two were drawn so similarly. I was sad that they killed off Rorschach. He was by far one of the best characters in the ...

Yes, this is The Best Comic Book Ever Written. Suck it, Maus! The problem with it is that it takes itself really, really, really seriously. It's one of those Citizen Kane things. You have to acknowledge that it changed everything; comic books weren't just "never the same," they were radically di...

I got this autographed by the artist Dave Gibbons in 2010. It's one of the great graphic novels ever written and I highly recommend it.
