![]() ![]() The hallucinations cause him to see those lost there and he feels horrible guilt for his part in allowing the camp to happen. He sets out to do this by taking LSD and going to the remains of Lakeview residential camp. The leader is also the one responsible for resettlement camps, the travesty that created V.Įric Finch is the head of Scotland yard and has a strong sense of duty with almost no political agenda.He knows in order to keep chaos from roaring its ugly head he has to get into the mind of V so that he can catch him. The government is run by the leader, a delusional man who is in love with a computer and is unsympathetic to those around him. Major characters, are also the ones in charge of the government and society at large. This is evident when Evey decided to take on the role of V, and finishes what V started by destroying the government herself. They offered you a choice between this death of principles and the death of your body.” Evey also becomes his protégé as we watch her become someone who’s confident and take’s control of her life. When he releases Evey from the physical jail he put her in he tells her, “You were already in a prison you’ve been in prison all your life” as well as “Happiness is a prison Evey, it’s the most insidious prison of all.” One of the most interesting statements V makes during this conversation of freedom is “You were in a cell Evey. He believes freedom to be able to live in accordance with your principals, regardless if those principles put you at odds with society and the happiness it can provide you. Evey becomes a way of humanising V as well as a means to show us what V believes freedom to be. Evey is a young women who is looking for her place in the world and dealing with loss of people she loved from the war. There are several major characters within the story line. The story was written by Allen Moore and David Lloyd in 1988 by DC comics. More specifically, to show the world and those who wronged him what their faults were. ![]() The title is very appropriate because it is in reference to V who is out for vendetta, against a society that did him wrong. An anarchist vigilante under the name V sets out to turn society around and settle an age old vendetta he has against the government. If you are a completist, check out Fashion Beast, 1963, Nemo Trilogy, Tomorrow Stories, Night Raven and Voices From the Fire.V for Vendetta is a story about a fictional London set in a fascist future. Once you explore that, try The Extrordinary Works of Alan Moore by Khoury, Brighter Than You Think by Sobel, then Moore’s Jerusalem. Then Saga of the Swamp Thing, From Hell, The Superman stories, “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow” and “For the Man who Has Everything” (available in The DC Universe by Alan Moore, don’t skip Wildstorm Presents Majestic), A Small Killing, Supreme, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Top 10 & Smax, Ballad of Halo Jones, Captain Britain Promethea, Tom Strong, Providence, Judgment Day, DR & Quitch, Future Shocks, Skizz, and Cinema Purgatorio. I would recommend V, Miracleman, and then Watchmen. Watchmen is a book that I definitely recommend reading a physical copy of first. ![]() The annotation version is good as well, but I would recommend that for a re-read to appreciate the nuances. The Absolute version is gorgeous, but the deluxe, international, noir and lenticular versions all have the same story. ![]() Miracleman also has some of the threads that Moore would pull together to perfection in Watchmen.įor what version, it really is personal preference. I would read V first, it is also fantastic and a great appetizer for Watchmen-not that V isn’t great in its own right. ![]()
