Great

By all means this is a must have, This graphic novel took the genre of adult graphic novels to a new level. With an engaging story line, many plot twist, and wonderful character development you won't be able to put this book down until you turn the last page...then you'll want to read it again. Lastly, It's just plain better than the movie.

Keeps your interest - (spoiler alert)

I was unsure of this book after reading such mixed reviews on here, but ultimately I decided to see what all the fuss was about. Wanted was an intruging read, and I almost couldn't let myself put it down til I was finished. It is refreshing in that its not your typical superheroes book, and unlike the other "offended" reviewers I couldn't find much that was all that grotesque or out-right blasphemous; it pales in comparison for shock-value to series such as 100 Bullets, Preacher, Punisher, etc. I was put-off by the main characters very distinct resemblence to that of rapper Eminem, it almost took away from the story in that it was very distracting. The story itself moves along swiftly and unlike most people I didn't really guess the big twist towards the end, though once I saw it seemed pretty obvious. I had a lot of questions when I finished, it seems the author didn't quite tidy up and left a few plotholes that could have used better explanation (i.e. how did mister rictus never notice wesley's dad, even though certain villians possessed powers that would easily have allowed them to do so?) and a few other points that slip my mind at the moment. I would recommend to anyone who is open minded and not easily turned off by a little senseless violence and a few derogatory remarks.

Must read prior to the movie.

I read the individual comics prior to purchasing the hardcover. I found the hardcover to have extras that I would not have gotten in the seperate issues. I enjoyed the hardcover even more the second time I read the story. I would recommend reading it prior to the movie to understand some of the scenes.
