Watchmen

[joethelion]

you know...

I think I first got it on a 'whim' b/c I heard that it was so good. Yea, the artwork is kinda shitty - especially when you compare it to what I normally was reading at the time (Todd McFarland's version of Spiderman, Jim Lee's X-Men, etc)

but the story just really got me hooked... and yea - you do have to kinda let it suck you in

when I first heard that it was being made into a movie - however, I was like... there's no way it can possibly be good.

then i saw the trailer... and it might actually be good!

I mean - sure they're gonna have to cut out a ton of parts of the novel (like that one chick's mom being raped, the story about the pirate on the raft made of dead bodies, etc) but I def have high hopes
