Just re-read Watchmen

One of the greatest stories ever told. If you haven't read it yet, go to your local Barnes and Noble and pick up a copy. Make sure you read it before the film is released. Such an intellectually fulfilling book that takes your moral compass and flips in on its head. Way ahead of it's time, and has yet to be surpassed. There aren't enough superlatives in the English language that could describe Watchmen. Just read it.

What is it about? I haven't read a book in months. 

I actually took the time to read this, it wasn't all bad. (Never read a comic in his life besides this one.)
And lol blue guy has a small dick.

Whats it about?
Nevermind too impatient to wait for an answer and googled it, Sounds cool.

Let me quote Wikipedia:
"Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic booklimited series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. Originally published by DC Comics as a monthly limited series from 1986 to 1987, it was later republished as a trade paperback, which popularized the "graphic novel" format. To date, Watchmen remains the only graphic novel to win a Hugo Award, and is also the only graphic novel to appear on Time Magazine's 2005 list of "the 100 best English-language novels" published since the founding of the magazine in 1923.Watchmen is set in 1985, in an alternate historyUnited States where costumed adventurers are real and the country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union (the Doomsday Clock is permanently set at five minutes to midnight). It tells the story of a group of past and present superheroes and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of their own. Watchmen depicts superheroes as real people who must confront ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses and failings, and who—with one notable exception—lack anything recognizable as super powers. Watchmen's deconstruction of the conventional superhero archetype, combined with its innovative adaptation of cinematic techniques and heavy use of symbolism, multi-layered dialogue, and metafiction, has influenced both comics and film."

It's actually really cool, I like the fact how Rorscach one of the protagonists looks like such a loser, and it makes you understand why he's such a legendary character.

I might pick it up

My brother bought a copy of it not to long ago.  Once my summer semester is over and and I have 3 weeks of free time, I will read it.

"I might pick it up"

This thread has made me really interested in reading it myself. Thanks, I'll be sure to pick it up in the near future. :D

Funny, I just finished it last night and loved it. I'm really looking forward to the movie now.

I'll probably just watch the movie when it comes out, dont really want to bother reading the graphic novel.

It really isn't that long you can finish it in a night, it is really worth the read.
I've never read a comic in my life and had no interest in them and I hate reading all together, but I took a chance and looked into this, it's actually pretty good.

Edit:
There was some boobies, so it kept my attention.
"

I gotta go out and get my own copy, the last few times i've read it i've borrowed it from a friend.

never read it

It looks really cool and I haven't read it yet, so I will pick it up soon.

Has anyone ever noticed how similar The Watchmen and The Dark Night Returns are?

just replace Rorschach with Batman and Dr. Manhattan with Superman and Nixon with Reagan.

Is it like a book, or a comic book with thought bubbles and what not.

I've never read a graphic novel. It's one of those things that I know I'll enjoy, but have never gotten around to doing. Perhaps if the movie is good I'll go and read the novel beforehand.

The Watchmen is so amazing.
I own the Absolute Watchmen set.

Well i just watched the trailer for the movie looks pretty dope, plus they've got the director from 300 so if its anything like the movie mght be dope.

I torrented them and there like .czr file.................
