V for Vendetta

Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta is an incredibly good novel. It’s a graphic novel — a large, adult comic if you will.

You should read it.

You should read it because it’s being made into a movie, and chances are that movie will be a terrible adaptation. (I am constantly reminded of the awful Starship Troopers.)

Dorian Wright at postmodernbarney.com has a much more detailed discussion of why the movie is a Bad Idea.

So, before it comes out, go get a copy of the book and read it, lest you think the movie came first.
