When I first read this I was none too impressed because it was not nearly as cool as V for Vendetta. That remains true, but there is enough here to recommend it to non-comic readers. Rorschach of course is the best character, and Dr. Manhattan remains the most annoying. The comic within the comic makes more sense in the grand scheme of things too. However, the 3/12 hour movie is painfully long and should have stripped the whole comic in a comic story. Unfortunately, the characters are not as compelling as Eve or V, but I understand and accept this novel's placement within the canon of comic literature.
