Media Reviews

Mr. Moore, a native of Northampton, England, distinguished himself as a darkly philosophical voice in the medium of comic books -- a rare talent whose work can sell solely on the strength of his name. --The New York Times

Dark, gripping storytelling. --Entertainment Weekly

It is a good book, it is smart, and there's no doubt that it remains relevant. --The Guardian

Moore's work has great depth. It shows a dirty world with ugly, fully-realized characters. --IGN

A complex, involving narrative. --AV Club

It's difficult not to be sucked into V's take on anarchy. --PopMatters
