Who watches the watchmen?
Alan Moore's "The Watchmen" is the comic book equivalent of "War and Peace." It took me forever to get through it, but in the end, I was completely engrossed, and found it to be extremely satisfying. I was not a fan of the genre (nor do I consider myself a fan right now) but this is really high quality stuff. Of course, like most high quality stuff it will probably get made into a very low quality Hollywood movie very soon. I suggest that you pick up the book before that happens.

you mean like V for Vendetta? I love alan moore, great stuff
the watchmen is one of my favorite books ever. note how i didn't say "comic books".
The watchmen was actually a fast, but engrossing read for me. Quite possibly the greatest comic ever written, by one of the most ingenius storytellers wrapped in a magician's cloak. He is the master.
