Watchmen

Lots of good stuff in here, but I can't help but feel I missed the boat a little on this one. Had I read this during my teens and/or/if it was still the 80's, I would presume that I'd have huffed it down like a sachet of fun dip powder. Alas, the year is 2026. Superhero movies have already gone through the arc of super popular, satirizing themselves, and now dying a slow painful death. Superheros are dark, gritty, and ubiquitous in our timeline.

>God, how historically significant though. You can see the direct through line from this to so much that came after it. Surprisingly, I couldn't help but see the similarities to The Incredibles, which makes me enjoy it all the more. Alan Moore is such a good writer; I totally see how he got his reputation. Really effective and memorable characters, though I was a little disappointed at the plots culmination. Visually really stunning too, though I was surprised that there wasn't more bold formatting choices.
