A review by batrock
Watchmen: Absolute Edition by Alan Moore

5.0

Sometimes Watchmen goes out of fashion, but it is its own brand of perfection. Perfect marriage of panels to text, dense as hell end material for each chapter, and the final page of the penultimate chapter is still as deeply moving as it was on the first read many moons ago.

As a thought experiment, if you've read it before: try it the opposite way. If you did it all in a day or two, try it over a week, or a month. If you spread it out, do it close together. Your relation with the text may change.

But don't read one chapter a month like they had to do in the dark ages. That sounds painful.
