review 1: Though subject to the usual Alan Moore excesses (does there always have to be a vivid drug trip lasting several pages and advancing the plot nowhere?) this is an interesting re-interpretation of H P Lovecraft mythology. It made me want to read some Lovecraft to see where this cam...

review 1: After a long slow slide into irrelevance, they really manage to pull something interesting out of the story at the very end. The comic goes from a one-note symphony to something very odd and intriguing that probably could only be told by using these archetypes. Moore and O'Neill...

review 1: I had mixed feelings about this. I've read most Lovecraft stories and a number of spin offs. They all have a common style where this infathomable creature from other worlds terrifies people into insanity, revealing just enough to horrify and baffle. This humanized the monster, ex...

review 1: The CENTURY trilogy recovers a bit of it's "mojo" here, but it certainly isn't the epic conclusion I had hoped for. I think I can understand what Moore was going for, but it doesn't gel in the way I had hoped. Still, it's an improvement over 1969, and a worthwhile read. There ...

review 1: To read this issue of V's rage against the mad Authorities and their minions one must have a pre-acquired knowledge in music and literature.I did think that Adam Susan's monologue about his lover Fate was quite pathetic, as well as V's imaginary dialogue with miss Justice, but th...
