Ok....after reading the first book of "V for Vendetta", I couldn't help myself from missing "Watchmen." I know they are written by the same guy, so they have some of the same traits, but I guess I just go tinvolved with the characters of the book. When I first opened "Watchmen," I'll admitt, I judged it as a pure comic book, plain and simple. The vibrant colors and cliched superheroes were so predictable...I judged a book by it's cover. But it proved me wrong! I actually really enjoyed it, and it sucked me into the comic book world. Once, I opened "V for Vendetta," I was disappointed. I ACTUALLY miss the distracting, vibrant colors, the jolly blue giant, the people who took it upont hemselves to dress up as owls and kick semi-serious criminal butt. I think the colors of the illustrations are dull and boring, but then again maybe I'm judging this book by its cover too, like I did before. Hopefully, Alan Moore will prove me wrong again. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm gonna become an avid comic book reader hanging out at the local corner store, thumbing through the new edition of X-Men (which I don't even know if they are still coming out with new editions of that???....lol)....Sorry Spencer, but I have become a fan of Alan Moore, and maybe the comic book, superhero genre in general....Hopefully, Alan Moore does not disappoint again...
P.S...I promise next post will have more on the material of the story. This interested me and I fel like ranting for a bit...Sorry to whoever had to read this...lol
