V for Vendetta is a maddening, arrogant, and often self-contradicting work that raises more questions than it answers. Frankly, I think Alan Moore is a crusty old pr*ck and his ideas are just begging for a thorough point-by-point rebuttal.
And needless to say, I agree with your assessment of the graphic novel wholeheartedly, entirely because of this. :) These are accusations that just couldn't be made against your typical "guys in spandex" or "hi, we'll be in college for eight years, reciting catch phrases and playing NES" comics. :)
