Editorial Reviews:

This Hugo Award-winning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin.
One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, WATCHMEN has been studied on college campuses across the nation and is considered a gateway title, leading readers to other graphic novels such as V FOR VENDETTA, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and THE SANDMAN series.

Summary: Must read for any fan who wants to know more!
Comment: This is the story behind the movie. It is a deeper insight - you can be a spoiler for all your friends. If you have any interest at all you have to read this!

Summary: Who watches the Watchmen?
Comment: This is a fantastic graphic novel. Do yourself a favor and immerse your mind into this book before the film version comes out next March. I looked around for it and I found it cheapest on Amazon.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Watchmen is as great as ever
Comment: Whats ironic about re-reading this book now is the fact that the world is where it is. Poverty, homelessness, lack of tolerance, invasions, corrupt people and government, the human heart and our need to be loved and understood. Of course these aren't new things, BUT Watchmen does it in such a brilliant way. Can't wait to see if the movie does it justice.

Summary: Watchmen

Summary: Just in Time
Comment: This isn't really a review (what more can be said?), but more about how became acquainted with this masterpiece.
I've never been big on comics, but recently I began reading manga (already an anime fan). I discovered Watchmen on a forum that was questioning whether this or a manga called 20th Century Boys is better, which is a tough choice, but I choose Watchmen because of the symbolism, metafiction, and because Dr. Manhattan is a god. Anyway, I decided to buy it a week later, and then after three days or so of reading (decided to spread the 12 chapters over 12 days. It was very hard to do.) I discovered that a film version is basically done and coming out next year. My God! I'm glad that I was able to read this before the movie's release, and I respect the long-lasting fans that have been much more patient in waiting for the project to come to fruition.
