It's been over 10 years since I last read Watchmen, it's still as great as I remember.

Отличное произведение, которое понравится даже тем, кто комиксами не увлекается. Абсолютное издание, к тому же, разбирает авторский замысел пол косточкам.

One of the most complex books I have ever read. I do not understand it. It’s glorious.

The constant callbacks and song lyrics that resonate with not only the story, but also the reader were a nice first for me. It was great to have "heroes" with some substance to them, to give them life and make them unique from each other. The themes of depression, sexual violence, wanting the best, abuse in all forms, fighting for truth, and how most everything was not what it seemed, were integrated beautifully throughout the story. The language was of a higher level, and I am glad that I read it at my current age. Though I still feel there were few parts I did not fully comprehend, I was able to grasp and question the majority of it. Seeing life as a miracle and being happy just to enjoy being alive was a quintessential part of the plot. This novel was not afraid to get dark and the underlying comic throughout helped not only story build, but it also helped in building tension. I do believe this is a must read novel if you can stomach it.

Dark, gritty, noir. A classic.
