: Watchmen
So I finished Watchmen today, not quite a week before the release of the movie. While I'm still looking forward to the movie, and certainly appreciate the literary genius of the graphic novel and its importance on the medium, there are still several things on which I'm not sure how I feel.
Thoughts are under cut-tag for those who haven't read the graphic novel and don't want to be spoiled before the movie.
( Watchmen Musings (SPOILERS WITHIN) )
All in all, a really good read, and it has me looking forward to the movie even more. I can see why everyone reveres this book, even with my questions and minor issues. It is, though, easily the heaviest and deepest comic I've ever read -- to the point where I could make the argument that high school and college literature classes need to start assigning it.
