Message: [QUOTE="MariaDelRosario, post: 247352, member: 765190"] I am surprised Vertigo does not get more love, though I reckon Dark Horse acquired some properties? I have been re-eading V for Vendetta. It is about a totalitarian government hellbent on censoring free expression and opposition to the positions of both government and media oligarchies, to the point of silencing through force, torturing, and murdering dissent. It shows how power corrupts, and unbridled power corrupts completely to the point in which the fascist fancy themselves as just, and godlike in their power to control and destroy others who do not align to their whims. A nice anti-hero is capable of destroying said corrupt power with anarchy and destruction, you could say he turns the tables, inflicting the pain the fascist submit society to, back to them. I believe the anti-hero who uses that famous "anonymous" mask, is based loosely on some Jesuit guy who was a terrorist (Jesuits were actual Assassins like the Hasheesheen of Hassan I Sabba) trying to recover England from the Protestants or something, certainly not as justified as he was in the fictional plot of V for Vendetta. I love everything Vertigo publishes. I can barely stand kids comics anymore, Dark Horse is cool tho, much more real with regards of the Human Condition even when it comes to "Super Heroes". [/QUOTE]
