I've heard this described as the greatest comic book/graphic novel ever, but I'm not sure if it's as good as [b:Garfield in Paradise|1435128|Garfield in Paradise|Jim Davis|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1183569834s/1435128.jpg|1425682].

a startlingly assured work from two masters of the form absurdly early in their careers. it's one of those books that feels like it manages to contain the entirety of human emotion.
this book is a masterpiece. there's no other word to put on it.

A great story that features very interesting character development. I was very impressed with how well fleshed out the characters were, and amongst them, Rorschach would have to be my favourite. Certainly the best Western comic I've yet to read.
I would like to give this a four, but for now, it'll have to start at three.
Highly recommended!

Wow.
The wealth of this book is incredible. Forget the film. Read it.
Not a cheerful beach read, but I get why people are enthused about this book.
One of the most poignant and important graphic novels in comic history. The movie didn't do it justice.

Alan Moore's "Watchmen" is an excellent look at just how destructive humans can become if left unchecked. For a "comic book," "Watchmen" struggles constantly with deep philosophical and theological themes. Accompanied by beautifully visceral illustrations, this graphic novel paints a dazzling picture of a world where Super Heroes are ordered to unveil their secret identities and corrupt governments plot and scheme for more and more power. Alan Moore's characters are so believable because of the stark realism that surrounds their conversations, which lends credence to the absolutely absurd events that take place throughout the graphic novel. A stunning warning of what we are capable of, "Watchmen" is one of the most popular works of underground comic fiction.

Maybe it's because I did not read it at the time it was first written, but after I finished reading it, I did not "get" what the big deal was. I enjoyed it but it wasn't, in my opinion, worth the adulation it seems to garner.
