I was rapping with a co-worker about Bladerunner 2049 (We both loved it) and somehow the 2009 Zack Snyder film Watchmen came up. We both agreed that the movie was pretty good, but when I began talking about the comic, he said he hadn't read it.
I told him some of the differences in the comic and movie, including the BIG change of the 'threat" at the end. Well, that weekend I had to order a bunch of comics online and decided that if I saw a cheap copy of the collected Watchmen Graphic novel, i'd pick it up for him.
Lo and behold, there was a copy for only a few bucks! I ordered it and upon it's arrival I decided to re-read it again to brush up on my memories . DAMN, what a GREAT freaking BOOK! The things I loved about it were as good as ever and there were even a few things I noticed that I NEVER saw before...that's how DENSE this book is, every PAGE is just filled to the BRIM with images and ideas, and MULTIPLE readings are required to soak it all in!!!
Truly one of the greatest Comcis of all time!
