This one was weird and sad.

I like Moore, (half the time) and this one I don't know if it's one of those "Oh Fuck outta here" moments (see From Hell) or one of those "Oh that's good, but when you re-read it, it's not THAT good" (see V for Vendetta) moments. It's definitely not "OH MY GOD. THAT WAS EVEN BETTER THE 30th time I read it (see Watchmen) moment. 

So I'm going to end this review with, Moore's mom died and he read a "poem" about his life growing up and whatnot, and it feels that the story should have been read like a book, because I'm 89% sure I'd like it much better than I did now. Had its moments but overall I hated this style of artwork, and pretty much half the time it was just a mess looking at you all pretentious and shit.

I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a hardcore Moore fan!
