This Hugo Award-winning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin.
One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, WATCHMEN has been studied on college campuses across the nation and is considered a gateway title, leading readers to other graphic novels such as V FOR VENDETTA, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and THE SANDMAN series.

Summary: Cold War gem
Comment: Watchmen captures the fears of a changing world at the end of the cold war in a unique and imaginative way that few other books can. The Dr. Manhattan character embodies the unholy power of nuclear weapons in a frighteningly cold persona. This is really a stand alone work of comic fiction, any Sci-Fi or comic fan should own this one. Can't wait for the movie, hopefully it does it justice!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent read
Comment: I wanted to read this before the movie released. I'd previously read Alan Moore's V for Vendetta. I was not disappointed. Alan Moore is an amazing writer, and this is a stunning story, very well crafted, very well told. I'm even more excited for the movie now. Why can it not be March already?

Summary: A good read
Comment: I found this book at target and i have to say that at first it overwhelmed me a little bit. After about an hour i couldn't stop reading it. It is very suspenseful. The ending totally blew my mind.
Customer Rating:
Summary: overrated glorified comic book
Comment: What's all the fuss about? This may be a landmark among comic books, but as far as stories go it's pretty unremarkable--not to mention its 1980's cold war story is quite dated. Since most of the book is taken up by cartoonish drawings there's little room for things like character development or depth. If you like comic books, by all means pick this one up. But if you like reading novels don't bother.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great reading - abrupt ending
Comment: As my title suggests, I found the book to be a gripping page-turner. For that reason I with-held a five-star rating - only because I found this book to be hard to put down, until the last chapter, when everything is wrapped up with a fairly deflated climax. Anyone who's studied composition knows the climax should occur a wee bit before the finale, but in this case everything just sort of shuts down right at the end. Other than that, one of the most gripping pieces of illustrated fiction I've ever seen!
