Watchmen #1: At Midnight, All The Agents....
by John Higgins, Alan Moore, Len Wein, Dave Gibbons
This was so incredible - I can see why it defined comics and revolutionized the kind of stories that can be told with them. Each of the characters is beautiful and flawed in their own way, and there is no black-and-white good and evil. This is one of the few books where I've seen the movie first. The movie is remarkably faithful to the book, while still skipping over the least cinematic parts (without losing any of the story). It actually took me a while to read this one because I took time to savor each of the skillfully drawn panels. The art and writing go so well together and that's part of the draw for me. I highly recommend this one, even to people who don't typically like comics.
