V for Vendetta

The first video was titled Rehearsal.

It shows a man who appears to be in his 30s wearing a striped dress shirt accompanied by another individual wearing a tracksuit with three stripes similar to the sportswear brand Adidas and a Guy Fawkes mask from the 1980s graphic novel V for Vendetta.

The setting resembles an office furnished with filing cabinets and a ceiling fan.

The maskless man then removes his shirt and positions his neck on a wooden cutting board while the masked figure lifts a black cleaver and practices a series of chopping motions above the man's neck.

Right.

So in Warrior Magazine, which was also serializing V for Vendetta, another big.

Yeah, both at the same time.

Right, at the same time, right.

And to me, it just made sense.

I mean, it was just like the perfect culmination of everything that he and Dave Gibbons had been building.

So really, that's when I started going back issue hunting, getting the V for Vendetta issues, looking forward to his new stuff.

But part of that back issue hunting involved Miracleman.

So I did appreciate him walking us through the process of how he built out this story and what have you.

Speaking of Alan Moore, there's also a V for Vendetta.

which is a story that he did with, oh my God, why am I drawing a blank on the artists for that series? David Lloyd, David Lloyd.

And it was a fantastic film with Hugo Weaving at one point and Natalie Portman.

And then Superman the Silver Age is getting its volume two Silver Age omnibus hardcover, issues 266 through 288 of Action Comics, issues 138 through 153 of Superman.

792 pages for $100.

V for Vendetta is getting a 30th anniversary deluxe edition hardcover.

So you can get the first issue facsimile.

He could have easily just thrown out something similar to Returns and we would have all ate it up.

Instead, he tried something as radically different as before with a story that feels like Super Friends meets Sin City with a dash of V for Vendetta.

I read this book not long after Dark Knight Returns, and so this became, in a way, my introduction to some of DC's lesser-known heroes, like Captain Marvel, the Atom, the Flash, and the Question, and helped make me a fan of them.

i'm with you i i really am i i thought it was uh i thought it was a great introduction to the wider dc universe i still think that might be ray palmer's best story

Who would have thought that's what the book's about? And his work life is basically what it's about.

Um, and this month they are doing a graphic novel, which is a complete change from what they're doing, but they're doing V for Vendetta.

And if you guys haven't heard about that book, first off, it's a really, really cool book.

You've probably seen the Guy Fawkes mask somewhere online at one point.

I'll be honest, this was back when Tinder also allowed younger people on the app and you could reach out to them.

I thought it was because I ghosted a girl.

on tinder and like i was telling oh no that could be bad but i don't ended up not being and then the next day we figured out was my friends and uh i've never really gotten a full apology from that so that's where my fear and fascination of v for vendetta starts okay v for vendetta all about um authoritarians authoritarianism versus freedom uh individuality freedom of expression uh letting loose the mask of society okay So I was inspired by this for my current campaign.

Let's go back on.

Nice.

Greg, a movie that I can't believe came out this same year because it is so similar is V for Vendetta.

But I'm not going to recommend the movie, although I did enjoy it.

I recently reread the comic by Hall of Famer Alan Moore.

The emerald-headed, exuberant editor of the galaxy's greatest comic.

That he kind of reminds me of Christmas, I'm not going to lie.

He's red and green.

He's red and green.

Judge Dredd is reminding about how...

Do you remember? Do you remember? Do you remember that when we saw that little vision of Judge Dredd getting stabbed in the finders? Yes.

And he was surrounded by some sort of magical orb-like thing that I said was maybe like a kind of, you know, the roover from the prisoner or some other kind of metaphorical thing.

It looks like a pipe.
