... an introduction to the universe, the characters, and even large parts of the plot. I definitely had NOT read Watchmen or V for Vendetta which are not only different beasts from this work but from any other graphic novels you will read. (Actually, Watchmen is the first graphic book I ...

Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, Akira, V for Vendetta and Watchmen are all terrific. If you liked Akira, you might want to check out Katsuhiro Otomo's Domu. I would recommend anything by Yukinobu Hoshino. He does 'hard' sci-fi. I'd especially recommend his 2001 Nig ...

Watchmen, V for Vendetta and Akira are all great. You might enjoy Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, starting with Preludes and Nocturnes, and Brian Vaughan's Y: The Last Man series.

... world of comics has arrived and that they're really liking what they've found. And I think you've got pretty good taste. V for Vendetta is one of my favorites, too! Keep us all posted!

Liked Akira, loved Watchmen (although the tone got to be drag after a while), and haven't read V for Vendetta yet. Its definitely on my TBR list. The first GITS series (Vol 1) is an often-read favorite. I liked the combo of hard sf concepts packed into a dense political, action oriented ...

... interested in graphic novels: Watchmen - an alternate history where superheroes first rose to prominence in the 1940's. V For Vendetta - a novel set in a dystopian England. Akira - Tetsuo, a young motorcycle gang member, starts to develop psychic powers, and the power makes him go somewhat ...

... upbeat either. Recommended but with a cautionary note: if you want happy endings, these stories will not do it for you. V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd was a selection because I've become a fan of the movie, having watched it several times. Its comparison in timing and politics ...

I read Watchmen last year and my succinct review was "Wow!" I am definitely going to have to give V for Vendetta a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

65- V For Vendetta by Alan Moore 5/5 I'm glad I took Watchmen out from the library on a whim, because otherwise I would probably still not have a read a graphic novel. This is excellent, although maybe not quite as good as Watchmen... I think I'll have to give both a re-re-read to be sure. I ...

Going back to earlier posts--I read The Watchmen and V for Vendetta in college, because they were cult favorites that everyone read. They didn't make much of an impression on me, or maybe I wasn't paying attention, because I don't remember a damn thing. The question of romances involving POC ...

... paperback at this point, i think. anything but Solaris, really. I don't think watchmen is anywhere nearly as good as V for Vendetta but i do own it. I'm sure our son can't find the copy of beggers in spain he "borrowed" several years ago for his class in SF lit, but wouldn't mind ...

... to capture the feel of whichever time period she's working in, but I saw the ending coming a mile off. I plan to start V For Vendetta by Alan Moore and Dave Lloyd on my lunch break.

A friend lent me V For Vendetta yesterday. Horray for graphic novels! I need to remember to bring her the first two volumes of Sandman today.

... don't know about it. It was supposed to be one of the greatest graphic novels ever made, but I enjoyed the characters in V for Vendetta much much more than any of the characters in Watchmen. I think the book was just overhyped to me because it was still good, it's just that I almost felt ...

... comic, Warrior, which was publishing both his Miracleman (then Marvelman but lawyers soon changed that) and V for Vendetta. I would argue that both these works remain among his best. My pet peeve about V for Vendetta is that the US/UK version is badly colourised; when it first ...

31/32: We really liked both movie and esp. the book, V for Vendetta but while the Watchman was fine, i didn't think it was ALL that - though i'm sure we'll catch the movie. Again - I bought and enjoyed Promethea - but haven't bought any of the sequels. From Hell is v. good, on some level, ...

I've only read Watchmen (amazing), V for Vendetta (wonderful) and the Sandman Series (by far, my favorite). Good recommendations from you all--I'll have to check them out!

... see it millions of times, and I hated it, but I gave the graphic novel a chance after reading Watchmen, From Hell, and V for Vendetta, and I figured that if everything that I read by him so far had been masterfully written, then I might as well give it a try. And I loved it. I bought Volume ...

Sssh, don't tell anyone Bus, but I didn't like V for Vendetta either, though I did quite enjoy the film. I've read some great Alan Moore (Watchmen is very good), and I've read some poor Alan Moore (for me, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier really didn't work - it's as if he ...

... graphic novels, but my kids are. We found Pride of Baghdad to be powerful and the artwork is beautiful. We also have V for Vendetta and both volumes of Maus. I thought all of these were very well-done. I also liked reading both volumes of Persepolis.

"Watchmen" and V for Vendetta are both great. Alan Moore at his most approachable. Dark Knight Returns is a dark interpretation of Batman. If you're not into capes and tights, check out Maus and Palestine by Joe Sacco. If you can find them, back issues of RAW offer a wonderful ...

Alan Moore distanced himself from the movie of V for Vendetta. Is he at all involved in the Watchmen movie?

I am also currently reading V for Vendetta. Last yr I read Watchmen, and subsequently reserved V for Vendetta at the library. It became available for me, but like Watchmen it's on a waiting list for other readers so I only have a fortnight to read it !

I didn't know there were two versions, so I'm not sure. Sorry! I've only read a few graphic novels that weren't manga, V for Vendetta and the Bone series. I'm planning on reading Watchmen for my 999 Challenge.

Thanks! I've read both parts of Maus and Persepolis but that's pretty much it. I'll add Embroideries, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen... So far for translated novels: I am reading 2666 right now (which should count in two or three of my categories) and have The Double by Jose Saramago ...

For graphic novels, I'd recommend V for Vendetta by Alan Moore (same guy who wrote Watchmen that LisaMorr recommended in #3). Maus parts 1 and 2 are generally considered "must-reads," if you haven't already read them. And, of course, all of Neil Gaiman's Sandman books are great. Any ...

Hey, so maybe not having either read or seen V for Vendetta, I should watch it first? That way I can enjoy that, and then get totally blown away by the book... I wish I were enjoying The Hobbit more. It fills me with trepidation about how I'm going to manage the longer Tolkiens on the 100 ...

I love the film adaptation of V for Vendetta, so much so that I haven't bothered reading the graphic novel yet - perhaps I should :)

... Books of Magic #3, or Runaways #1. Yeesh, I'm stymied with my graphic novel readings this fortnight! Oh, and I did see V for Vendetta which I read last year and enjoyed (much more than the movie, which *missed the point* entirely, I felt).

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Murakami, The Two Towers (read aloud with hubby) and V for Vendetta as my toilet reading.

... may be another thread... I went through a period where I was trying to read every single book mentioned in the comic V For Vendetta. I'm probably going to do that with Watchmen next. I like doing it because it takes my reading to unexpected places. As for the trend, all I know is ...

... and Carey simply picks up the story where Gaiman left off. I'd also have to go with a few of the other posts and suggest V for Vendetta and From Hell. They both have such incredibly deep story elements that the movies didn't even begin to touch on.

I have read that Alan Moore also wrote V for Vendetta, but after watching the film I thought they had some good ideas, but couldn't quite pull it together...

... one time thing, but I used to work at a movie theater, and we were all really familiar with the current trailers. When the V for Vendetta movie trailer came out, this guy and I were talking about it, and he started out by saying that he hadn't read the book, but he was excited by the Vertigo ...

... original work. My suggestion: try something like The Sandman first, if you're a Fantasy/Neil Gaiman buff. Then tackle V for Vendetta, by the same guy who made Watchmen, before you tackle Watchmen itself.

1) My first name begins with an 'L' 2) V from V For Vendetta is one of my favorite characters, and the book had a big influence on me. 3) Just spell out those two letters 4) My friends call me 'Elle' 5) I really, really like the letter 'V'. I don't know why. It's just a rad letter.

I personally haven't had any trouble connecting to, and even warming up to, several of his characters. Like Evey in V for Vendetta, Mina Harker and Mr. Hyde in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and, wow, just about everybody in Watchmen I also think it's unfair to say that just ...

For example, I'm currently writing a novel which owes quite a bit to V for Vendetta, so I've named two of the minor characters Gordy and Eva Fry.

... Finding Neverland wrecked me. I was just devastated. Also, Dead Man Walking, because I felt bad for EVERYONE. And V For Vendetta, obviously, in all forms, makes me sob. Scary movies? Those of you who read my blog know of my fixation with 'The Poughkeepsie Tapes.' Scariest movie I ...

It's only a vice if, like me, you can recite most of V For Vendetta, but still have several hundred books in your TBR pile.

#129: And words that start with V are cool. Yeah! Even more so, after having read V for Vendetta ;) Edited to fix the touchstone.

I love Watchmen, Swamp Thing, and V For Vendetta deeply. So I like him a lot. But I prefer Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis.

#18: I've got Oryx and Crake on my TBR pile. I've seen the film of V for Vendetta but have not read the graphic novel yet.

Another Margaret Atwood dystopian future is Oryx and Crake. And there's always V for Vendetta by Alan Moore.

I have Shadrach S. Steven's Speculations. Sallie Sparkle's Serio-Comic Story. from 1877. It's a story written entirely and only using words which start with the letter ess. Stupefying! Touchstone brought up something strange.

... I reread it was at least six or seven years ago, maybe more. I never liked it that much, until now. I've always liked V for Vendetta best of Moore's work. I first read it when I came back from living for a year in London. I was 11, and didn't understand most of it, but I absolutely loved ...

My top books for this quarter are 1. The Children of Hurin by J.R.R. Tolkien 2. V for Vendetta by Alan Moore 3. Thunderstruck by Erik Larsen 4. Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith 5. The beautiful cigar girl by Daniel Stashower

Very true. I wonder if this is because Moore does not ink his own work. In V for Vendetta or Watchmen I felt this was not as big an issue, but both Promethea and Lost Girls suffer from this. (Although the ending of Lost Girls was pure comic genius.)

... is no difference except length. Many graphic novels of course are literally collections of comics. Watchmen,Ronin,V For Vendetta,Dark Knight Returns,Cerebus,etc. Even OGNs like Orbiter are still comic format. Panels, illustration,words. If you are suggesting these aren't ...

... changes to be an improvement: many plot elements were much more believable. I can't go into more detail without spoilers. "V for Vendetta" is a wonderful movie.

... Willow (Shadow Moon, Shadow Dawn and Shadow Star). I only read the first of them, though. >10 Actually, it was V for Vendetta.

Can we include fiction about censorship? "V for Vendetta" is a good graphic novel and an even better movie. If I may quote: Evie: "Where'd you get all this stuff?" V: "Oh, here and there, mostly from the vaults of the Ministry of Objectionable Materials." Evie: "You mean you stole ...

... if you're a Christian Bale fan. The movie is kind of a cross between Fahrenheit 451 and the Giver, with some of V for Vendetta mixed in. On the other hand, I personally would not recommend the movie version of 451. It was done back in the '60's, and while it follows the plot quite ...

... and a sense of "why did they bother buying the rights?". I've only seen a few passable films in this genre, maybe V for Vendetta is the best example, and that was disowned by its creator. ~Matt

#38 Mostly, just the basics. V for Vendetta and Rising Stars. My boyfriend got me Lost Girls for Christmas (which I've mentioned about a hundred times on LT). I did find a good copy of the first issue of Cages on alibris, so I will probably pick it up next money-day. My sweetie was ...

... though it really was quite "out there", but a lot of fun, and educational (but not as dull as that sounds), I didn't enjoy V for Vendetta that much (though I think the movie is very good), um I also have his collected DC works, there's some good things in there particularly the Superman story Wh ...

After the complete disaster that was the film of V for Vendetta, I think that Watchmen should *never* be made into a film lest it suffers a similar state. (Really. I cannot emphasise how utterly *awful* the V movie was.)

... earns you a point in my biased accounting system. No one else seemed to be bothered by that gratuitous Koran hyping in V for Vendetta.

Hello all: I bought and read the original graphic novel of V for Vendetta and enjoyed it immensely. I bought and watched the DVD of same and enjoyed it even more. Yes, Alan Moore is a Socialist and an Atheist and a not-so-very-nice person, but he is a very good writer with (despite his ...

... I'm excited to see that. I read Big Fish after seeing the movie and liked the movie so much more. I don't know if V for Vendetta would fall into 'books' because technically it's a graphic novel? But the movie was incredible and I'm ordering the graphic novel which is supposed to be ...
