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.
