V For Vendetta DVD! (8/1/06 - merged)

I really doubt that the Target comic is the complete graphic novel (which retails for $20, and is over 200 pages long).
If anything, it's probably just a special reprint of V for Vendetta #1. The series ran for ten issues under DC Comics. So if that is the case, then it would be like getting the first chapter of a novel.

Makes sense, thanks. I didn't know how many issues were made of the series or how thick the graphic novel would be. Figured I'd ask

Okay, a dumb question, I'm sure, but...the 2-disc is being sold at Circuit City, isn't it? It appears on their web site, but there was no mention of it in the weekly ad. I'm tempted by that lithograph, but not if it means being limited to the single-disc release.

That way, more people will be inclined to spend the extra money, whereas if the single-disc version had commentary, that may be enough bonus content for some.

I just ordered the Best Buy Collector's set for in-store pickup. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm thinking that if I don't like it I can still display the mask in honor of the comic series. It's my favorite Alan Moore title behind Watchmen and From Hell. Not far behind, mind you.

Tilt the cover, and the background turns black and the V symbol appears dripping down the cover.
Tilt it again and the V symbol bursts into flames.
Very well done.
Plus the comic book included reprints issues 1-2, so it's a nice bonus.
One other nice thing I noticed for those who care-- the slipcase does NOT have a hole cut out for the UPC code, which I appreciate.
