An interesting premise - a lone, solitary man waging a vendetta against the power behind a totalitarian post-holocaust UK in a stark speculative future dystopia. Another Alan Moore classic, but one that loses direction as it progresses, from my point of view. 6 out of 12, Three Stars.The global reach of this work and its long standing cultural impact is because of the appropriation of the mask by numerous parties and movements to mimic the book's protagonist and and its context in regards to com...

Happy Reading!

Probably at least as important as Brave new world and 1984, because it can easier be read by younger audiences who, hopefully just still, aren´t into real reading Some may be crucified for calling graphic novels no real literature, but at least without brainwashing, endless torture, and unfunny camps.The optical impressions mixed with Moores´ ingenuine, deep, and sophisticated writing makes it even more disturbing than general dystopias that lack the imagines burned inside one's mind forever. O...

I adored this graphic novel, every single page of it. If I could give it more than 5 stars, then I would.

Prison. What exactly is prison? Is it just the confinement in which we are placed after crime? Or is it something more? Can we become imprisoned without being aware of it? Can we even imprison ourselves? Perhaps even to the state? Alan Moore depicts these questions in this scary graphic novel that is set in some crazy right-winged London that reeks of fascism and corruption. It’s a dark, eerily real place; it is a place that might have actually been in an alternate history. Just like in Watchm...

Notes: A Miltonian antihero in an Orwellian world, the hero's a kind of philosopher Batman, but for anarchy instead of law.

For all of the criticism heaped on movie versions of novels and other literary works (well deserved in many cases), there are times when the filmmakers get it very right (e.g., Lord of the Rings, the Princess Bride, Schindler’s List). The Graphic Novel, in particular, is a format that lends itself well to adaptation and, in the right hands, can often IMPROVE on the source material. Examples of this, IMHO, would include: From Hell, Road to Perdition and Sin City. To that small but distinctive...

The fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot!

I struggled for a long time with the growing notion that conservatives simply aren't funny. At first it seemed a silly idea, since conservatism draws from sources as varied as progressivism: all levels of intelligence and wealth, all kinds of people from all walks of life--yet none of them are funny.Certainly they can tell jokes and be charming, but not satirical, not biting. Subversion doesn't come naturally to them, and it should have been clear why: Conservatism relies on ideals, on grand her...
