I don't like the bit in Alan Moore's V For Vendetta where
Spoiler Below V tortures Evey, pretending to be the fascists he's fighting to overthrow. I get the point he's trying to make and that V's too messed up to be a conventional hero but this whole chapter anticipates the current 'torture-porn' fashion which I find an unpleasant indulgence. Alan Moore has written some of the best comics ever but this one is rather confused and overrated.
