Watchmen is one of the best novels of all time let alone graphic novels. This is in my opinion the best superheros have ever been written and even almost 40 years removed from when it was published about half of the comics industry is still trying to recapture what this book had.

One of the greatest graphic novels I've ever read. Alan Moore has a tremendous imagination.

The story in itself is really good and tackles such heavy themes in a great way. It was a little bit of a drag to get through though, and I wish there were more female characters and had more agency.
