Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici

Or, "By the power of truth, I, a living man, have conquered the universe."

VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Had he ever tired of being a melodramatic anarchist, V could have opted for professional scrabble.

While the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth.

Powerful stuff for DC comics, na?

Yes, quite deadly for DC comics. But DC Vertigo has always been much better than the regular stuff.

Tell me you've read Watchmen and Promethea by Alan Moore.

Watch the BBc movie on Alan Moore on You tube. This man is phenomenal.
