Mattia Rizza: caposaldo della letteratura cimmera
Italy on Jun 15, 2023
Checker Chan: Habe vor Ewigkeiten den Film gesehen und seither im Hinterkopf gehabt. Als ich dann Moores anderen berühmten Comic Watchmen gelesen hatte, war ich begeistert, obwohl ich sonst nicht so der Comic-Nerd bin.
Weitergemacht habe ich dann mit V for Vendetta und ich muss sagen, der hat mir sogar noch besser gefallen... Grade das Kapitel Valerie macht einen fertig (im Englischen zumindest fangen übrigens alle Kapitel mit V an, was irgendwie cool ist :), aber auch eine bestimmte Stelle wo ein Inspektor LSD konsumiert, um Vs Verstand nachzuvollziehen, ist einfach großartig.
Kann V for Vendetta und Alan Moore im Allgemeinen einfach nur empfehlen.

Frederick Baptist: This was controversial when it was released in the 80s and it's easy in retrospect to see why as even today at least some of the issues showcased here are still relevant and would resonate with readers. Alan Moore, a self-described "anarchist", presents us with his manifesto or world-view here in graphic novel form. This is certainly one comic that is meant for adults and like any true classic I found myself getting even more out of subsequent readings. Moore tells us that what ills the world is humankind's senseless need and desire to delegate the "chore" of thinking for itself to others and that the choices for these roles of authority frequently fall way short of the mark and end up making the collective ever more miserable while the few sociopathic individuals that are put into places of authority not only abuse their powers but also go to great lengths to hang on to said power requiring in the end painful sacrifices to be made by the masses to overcome the damage done. Frequently selfless individuals have to make great personal sacrifices to achieve this as leaders of a revolution but in the end is this just a vicious cycle doomed for repetition or will humankind ever learn...

M. Helfried Geihofer: Dieses Buch ist ein "Graphic Novel" und kein "Comic", denn es hat die Wucht eines Romans. Es liest sich auch nicht schnell wie ein "Comic", sondern es muss verdaut werden. Am besten man liest es zweimal. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Klassikers, der in den frühen 80er Jahren in England entstand und in einem fiktionalen faschistischen England der 90er Jahre spielt, stehen V und Evey. Beide können als Ikonen eines bestimmten Typus von "Helden" gelten.
Der mysteriöse V, einstiges Opfer von Menschenversuchen, ist ein genialer Anarchist, der die gegenwärtige Herrschaft in Schutt legen will, damit darauf eine neue Gesellschaft gebaut werden kann. Er trägt stets die Maske, die die Internetrebellengruppe Anonymous passenderweise als ihr Symbol angenommen hat. Er ist der Held, der die Grenzen zwischen Gut und Böse auflöst; der Terrorist, dem man doch mit Sympathie begegnet.
Die junge Evey ist sozusagen die (Groß-)Mutter von Katniss ("The Hunger Games") und anderen Jung-Heroinen (z.B. Tris in "Divergent"). Sie wird von V vor den Fängen der Polizei gerettet und gerät in den Trubel der Ereignisse und V's Pläne hinein. Am Ende wird sie es sein, die V's Werk...

The Evil Hat (evilhatDOTblogspotCOM): Alan Moore's V for Vendetta explores power, morality, and responsibility, and it manages - incredibly enough - to do justice to all three themes. The novel is a powerful and intelligent story that's a classic of its genre, one that is far more complex than it seems (and it doesn't seem particularly simple to start off with).
[Note: the following review contains SPOILERS]
The first thing that has to be understood about V for Vendetta is that it's a text filled with questions and bereft of answers, both on a large and small scale. Who is V? We never find out. We find out just enough to create a compelling theory, and we know the sensational parts of his back-story, but everything from his name to his childhood is obscured. V is an enigma, and he remains an enigma, the actual man insignificant when compared to what he represents. As he says: "There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. Ideas are bullet proof." (p. 236) He does not fit the archetype of hero. His every action, from his outlandishly disguised identity to his quote-filled dialogue, is fit more for the stage than for the battlefield.
In mannerism, the character he most...
