Call me crazy, but I much prefer this to Watchmen.V for Vendetta (reread)
Yes, Rose's story is really tragic.Call me crazy, but I much prefer this to Watchmen.
Also, I find Rose Almond to be one of the most tragic characters in literature. She makes the masterfully drafted work especially haunting. I think I will never be able to think about that book without reflecting on her story and the last visual you get of herIt leaves me with a pit in my stomach.being arrested and tortured following her assassination of Adam Susan. All of this following a life of abuse by her husband and then being forced into prostitution after his death. It’s all very sad and then ends horrendously for her with prolonged misery and torture.
But it’s an incredible and intricate story.
I haven’t actually. I’ve heard great things about it as well as Gaiman’s run. I might put it on the reading list given your recommendation.I'd probably put them about level. But I'd put Moore'sMarvelmanMiracleman above them both. Have you read that, BBG?
I definitely think you'd enjoy it. It's actually now owned and published by Marvel (after an unbelievably complicated and drawn-out 30-year rights dispute!).I haven’t actually. I’ve heard great things about it as well as Gaiman’s run. I might put it on the reading list given your recommendation.
I will say that I’m a big fan of Moore’s Superman stories, and his run on Swamp Thing is superb.
