average but intriguing thus far. we’ll see where the rest of the story goes.

A lot of people seem to like this, but it wasn't for me.

Interesante.

Desde que vi la película hace años me interese por esta novela gráfica, pero no había tenido la oportunidad.

Pues lo empecé y ahora quiero seguirlo. Cuento que cada avance irá poniendo la historia más. Interesante.

El relato al final de Hollis Mason le da un buen toque.

I've actually read the whole series, I just couldn't be bothered doing this 9 times in a row. This is a good comic, although I think a lot of people misunderstand Rorschach and think he's meant to be some kind of heroic figure.

Someone recommended reading THE WATCHMEN to me because I was told it was one of the best out there. After reading the first issue, I now know why.

The illustrations were a bit outdated, but I didn't really mind. I'm more curious as to what happened to the Comedian and why this person thinks someone was out there, killing these retired masked heroes.

From the first page, you immediately know that this series would have a dark theme. I've only read the first issue, but I could already tell, I would not recommend this to younger readers.

This is my first graphic novel (excluding manga) that I have picked up to read so I do not have a benchmark to compare this against. However, I like how the first scene is narrated and the way the story unfolds. It gets you interested. It made me continue on to the second book of the series.
