mamateresita 's review for:
Watchmen
by Alan Moore
Re-reading, in honor of the movie coming out in March, for which I have high hopes.
This is the ultimate graphic novel, but I admit it was a shock at first to deal with what look like cheesy comic book graphics. (Especially compared to the sleek, stylized, modern look of so many graphic novels available these days.) In the end, though, the plot is remarkably enhanced by the art. In what other book form can a lack of dialogue convey so much? The expressions of the characters are priceless.
If you've read it once, I recommend a second pass – the plot progression and side stories are so much clearer, and the motivations of the characters is easier to follow.
