Watchmen

[cHilli]

Simply the best comic ever, I'm only half way through it, but it's awesome.

For those uneducated, it's a graphic novel about 'superheros' but moreso their lives after they have retired and their background etc.

It's absolutely incredible, and it even listed in Times' Magazine's top 100 novels of all time

I've heard agood bit about it. Easy to find?

[cHilli]

Ah tis alright! Bit chunky yellow cover! Can't miss it.

I have heard of it. I know the movie is susposed to be coming out in March. I will check this out though because I hear great things about it.

How much does it go for?

I'm assuming Forbidden Planet has it, but I'm kinda scared to go in nowadays. I swear to god, half of Wikipedia comes from the guy working there..

[Some1]

Lol. I gotta remember that one. ;)

So does it takes place in alternate 1980's?

[Flamefist95]

Are they about famous super heros? Or is it just like various super heros they make up with each issue cause Im interested.

[cHilli]

@someone, yeah! But it's this world, with real world events happened, like any comic!?

@ff - they are non famous yeah

[Flamefist95]

That sounds pretty good. I think Ill get an issue and see how I like it. So is there a different story each comic or should I start at the beginning of a series?

Egad!

^No, I think it's just a single story not a series.

[Laguna Loire]

YES.

This graphic novel lays all others to waste, no joke

Also, Rorschach is officially the coolest comic book character on the planet.

It is, quite simply, UNBELIEVABLE. I love it to bits haha :D

I can't wait for the film, I hope it doesn't ruin the comic <_<

[Laguna Loire]

Hahahaha that's awesome

I got Watchemen today. Seems pretty good but I only read the first chapter so nothing really exciting happened yet. I cant to start reading more if it with this much good stuff being said about it.

Watchmen's the sorta comic you've gotta appreciate on an artistic level as well as just its storyline...

I mean, the story and the characters are both developed in such a way that by the end, everything and everyone just has so much depth, you can really feel the intensity of what's going on and what's going through everyone's minds..

I loved the cinematic style of the whole book itself as well, I love the kinda noir feel it has all the way through, it's exactly my sorta thing :P

If you consider that it was made in 1986, it's really groundbreaking stuff. Timeless comic, absolutely amazing.

^Im touched...;)

Im only at Chapter 3 right now but its really good so far. I like the part with the flashbacks and how each charcter connects to the Comedian and also how each flashback rolls into the next, it was hard to put down last night. :)
