Watchmen

[oceanic]

John, I'm reading Watchmen for a college course on Graphic Novels. Watchmen is the first "comic book" I've read in over 10 years, and it's blowing me away. So far it seems to completely warrant all the analysis, criticism and praise it's gotten. Such an interesting medium to explore politics, psychology and culture. Because I've only just gotten into it, though, I don't have the same history and attachment to it that might make long-time fans cringe at the upcoming movie. I understand what people are saying about the movie looking too glossy, though. Watchmen's such a dark read - in terms of content as well as form.
