Book 6 of the fiftyfiftyme Challenge: V for Vendetta
I’ve picked up and put down this book a few times over the last 9 Months. I finally set out to finish it. Even at 250+ pages you would think it was twice as long. I know Alan Moore threw one of his standard Hissy Fits when this was made into a movie, but I would argue the movie boils down the book to its essentials. There’s still a bunch of this story I wasn’t sure why it existed.
Now while I think it was longer than it needed to be, I do think in general it was a good story. I also enjoyed the art quite a bit as well. Even if you have seen the movie, I would still recommend reading V for Vendetta. While I found some other parts of the story boring, there were others that were rather interesting.
While I wouldn’t say that V for Vendetta is in my top 10 must reads of all time. I would recommend it to my friends who are looking for something more out of their comics.

Books 3 & 4 of the fiftyfiftyme Challenge: Uncanny X-Force Apocalypse Solution and Deathlok Nation
Holy crap where has this book been my entire life?! Also if we’re going to have 300 different Deadpool titles why is Remender not writing one of them? After the way he’s used in this book, I would read the hell out of that. He manages to make Deadpool the joke that he is AND a real person at the same time.
Also thank you to my Parents and @WonderAli for getting these for me as Christmas Presents!
