Great series as long as you don't stop to remember how odd Alan Moore is as a human being.

This Series is a mixture of The West Wing and Batman, with a hint of Heroes thrown in. I'm absolutely enthralled.

Not the most satisfying of endings, but overall one of the best graphic novel series I have read to date.
