Such a great graphic novel. Violent, haunting, and with themes that still apply today. It is so full of amazing moments and moments that will make you ponder the greater experience of humanity.

before i read it i was like “why is everyone so obsessed with watchmen.” Now i know. The way it combines so many different plotlines and formats is so cool and really adds to the experience of the overall story. Love how most pages adhere to the 9-grid format, when it’s broken by larger panels it becomes all the more impactful

I don't need to review this. You've either read it or you haven't - if you're in the latter group, then shame on you. SHAME ON YOU!

I tried reading this so many times as a teen, and could never get past the first two issues. Finally going back as an adult and reading it was a joy, I really felt connected to it and didn't feel like I was just reading it to cross off an iconic story from my list. It's as good as everyone says it is, and if you somehow haven't read it (especially if you don't know alot about it) you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

A great story that features very interesting character development. I was very impressed with how well fleshed out the characters were, and amongst them, Rorschach would have to be my favourite. Certainly the best Western comic I've yet to read.

I would like to give this a four, but for now, it'll have to start at three.

Highly recommended!
