I used to be into Comics back when V came out as a graphic novel, I still haunt the net looking for cool things to check out, 30 Days of Night is an example (wait till that comes out as a movie!!)

So after seeing V I went to the bookstore to pick up the graphic novel, I was into comics as much for the artwork as for the stories and while some titles could have artwork that wasn't the greatest, Frank Miller's Sin City and of course Dark Knight Returns, are examples where the artwork works witht the story.

When I picked up V and flipped thru it I was immediately disappointed, I thought that not just the artwork was very substandard but the way the story was portrayed in the panels was just too crowded and jumbled. It was almost like it was more a novel trying to be a graphic novel. I know that V is famous for it's story but I'll prefer the movie to the graphic novel any day.
