Disadvantages: none

This book gave birth to what i think is the greatest super (if you could use that word) hero of them all. A super intelligent vengence compelled twisted man know as 'V'.
With echos of guy fawks and the gun powder plot, set to 80's Thatcherism (to young for me to remember all) and a bleek totalitarian society, V battles for freedom whislt expossing iconic land marks as nothing but symblos of supression of the stricked laws the 'fingermen' enforce.
Its good when a writer paints such and amazing picture of what he see's and could easily be the future for us all, and can come up with and insightful and charismatic figure of freedom as 'V' (or guy fawks if you will). If you have not read this you really should and if you like others just see graphic novel as big comics your only stopping yourself from another source of brilliant writeing and culture.

Summary: Read it
