Considered the greatest graphic novel in the history of the medium, the Hugo Award-winning story chronicles the fall from grace of a group of superheroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the superhero is dissected as an unknown assassin stalks the erstwhile heroes.

My first graphic novel and much more involving than I would have thought. Ambitious effort but ultimately too dark to be enjoyable. Too many characters, too many plotlines, too much intercutting and time-shifting, but interesting.
Medium defining piece of art that really shows the power that a graphic novel can hold. Intricate characters and phenomenal design set this book apart from other comics. Also an amazing plot that really makes you question the “antagonist's” purpose and if it was justified. It's made to be read again and again to fully understand
well shit.
a legitimate masterpiece. my standards for books have been raised >:D
