Watchmen

Sooo, seeing how I got through reading Watchmen for the Ffffforth time. I thought I'd make a review or something of those sorts.
Watchmen is limited comic series of 12 comics which ran from September 1986 - October 1987. It was written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons.

So, the Comedian (Edward Blake) is killed (thrown out a window of a very tall building previously getting the beating) and this makes one member of the retired Watchmen team, Rorschach (Walter Kovacs) suspicious or "Paranoid" as Nite Owl II (Dan Dreiberg) puts it, he goes to a secret military base to warn Dr. Manhattan (John) and the Silk Spectre II (Laurie Juspeczyk), then goes to warn Dan. Laurie calls Dan, they go to dinner because John (being to super human blue dude that he is) is too busy with Ozymandias (Adrian Veidt) so, then Laurie breaks up with John, falls for Dan, Rorschach goes to prison, Silk Spectre II and Nite Owl II got break him out and then go to the Antarctica to face the man who kills Edward and something happens to New York, thus ending the Cold War (You'll have to read the book to find out who, and what. You'll never see it coming, unless you've seen the film).

So I think that Watchmen takes superheroes and puts them into a very realistic (well, as realistic as it could be) environment, and have very realistic problems and are human, the have troubles and none of them a perfect. It's a lot more interesting that any other superhero comic, it's very dark, also. I had to edit the summery to leave out some inappropriate stuff. This isn't Spider Man and shouldn't be read by children.

I just like the the realistic, flawed, human characters. I'd be hard-pressed to find a dull moment in Watchmen, it kept me hooked until the end. Well, this one dude was reading a comic in the comic (Yo dawg, I heard you like comics, so we put a comic in yo comic so you read while you read), and the comic he was reading was BORING. It included the text on the top and bottom of a frame-panel-thong. Though the don't add anything and you can just skip that, thankfully.

Honestly, what hasn't been said about Watchmen? It did something that had never been done before and it revolutionized the way Graphic Novels we're written.

10/10 *****/***** 5/5, whatever. IT'S AWESOME.
