Haha, yea, but Frank Miller didn't get jist of the Sin City movie and go "Uhhhhhh, fuck you guys, don't even mention my fucking name in association with this movie." Which is what Alan Moore did, hahah. Which is a pretty big bummer, sort of frustrating seeing the preview say "From the minds of the Wachamacalit brothers." As if they came up with the amazing story you're all about to witness when you see it.
Seriously the comic is on par with 1984 or fahrenheit 451, as far as distopias go. Its so. fucking. good.
So if you like those type of stories, pick it up nownownow. Can't miss it, cuz now they print it with "NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE" in huge letters on the cover.
"Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot..."
(an example of the literary/poetic/play references V uses throughout the book, and uses them fucking brilliantly.)
SEMI SPOILER:
For all that have read the book: One scene that I think will transfer to film really well is when V is "conducting" the explosions of London on his balcony. Oh man oh man oh man.
