I'm a confirmed DC Comics man. While that means nothing to most of you, hopefully, let me explain: There are two major comics companies out there: DC Comics, whose stable of characters includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, The...

Pros: The best comic book you'll ever read.
Cons: Good luck finding a copy.
What if you could change the world? What if you could unite the planet in a common goal and put an end to war? What if you had to kill 3 million people to do it?

Let me start at the beginning, or as close to the beginning as I can.

Alan Moore's Watchmen: The Story that Changed Comic Books Forever

by jacobeiserman , Jun 18 '07
Pros: It's literally the ultimate comic book series. 384 pages of genius.
Cons: Not the most uplifting tale.
Travel back in time with me to 1985. Tricky Dick was still president--during his fifth term of office. The Soviets were on the verge of invading Afghanistan and Western Europe, held in check only by the world's one true superhero, the naked, ...

Pros: Interesting characters, Engaging plot, Clever concept, Well-written
Cons: Narrative structure, Editing/Censorship
I would like to talk, for a moment, about the penis. The penis; the organ with perhaps the most euphemisms associated with it - phallus, dick, prick, wang, johnson, and hundreds of others - this body part is found on almost half the world's ...

POTUS W/O: Nixon and Rohrshach are the real heroes of Alan Moore's "Watchmen".

by thewasp , Jul 24 '04
Pros: The tone, the visuals, the characterizations, the concept.
Cons: The ending.
I found out earlier this month about lorendiac's write/off on the American presidency. Determined to make a contribution, I went to the video store and slowly went through all the "Drama" titles. I considered renting "Amistad," "Megiddo: Armageddon 2" ...

The Greatest Superhero Story Ever Told

by a_r_egerton , Jun 16 '09
Pros: Fascinating plot, setting, and characters.
Cons: Ghoulish in parts, especially the "Tales of the Black Freighter" segments. 
Once upon a time, superheroes were infallible. They always defeated the villain, always did the right thing, and everybody trusted them. Then, in the early 1960's, Stan Lee of Marvel Comics decided that he wanted to write about superheroes that he (and ...

Who watches the Watchmen?

by cobadee , Dec 09 '06
Pros: Beautiful writing. Great characters. Amazing story that turns in every direction.
Cons: Would be cool to see a few more action scenes.
I haven't read any comics for ages. Four days ago, I went to the store, and I saw a giant box set called Absolute Watchmen. The smiley face with the blood on it really caught my attention. The box claimed that it was one of the best comics ever. I ...

Cons: No Sequel
First Impressions

I’ve never really been into comic books or graphic novels, whichever title you choose to give them - if you do indeed believe that the two are separate. Sure, when I was a kid, I enjoyed the occasional...

Totally Engrossing

by rristuccia , Sep 28 '03
Pros: Fantastic characters and story
Cons: ending a little far-fetched, but it IS a comic book, right?
I don't usually read comic books and graphic novels (with the exception of Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" books), but I have to say that found "Watchmen" to be absolutely riveting. I first heard about this book on a History Channel special about comics. It so ...

Pros: Excellent portrayal of how heroes can change a world for good and ill
Cons: None
This stunning volume encompasses the WATCHMEN comic book series as put forth by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The mid-1980's saw a resurgence in comic books that concentrated on hard looks at characters, adult themes and intricate social settings....

Comic books evolve beyond themselves.

by snpmurray Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 30 '01
Pros: Its unique...fascinating combination of literary forms, and it works!
Cons: A bit on the graphic side with the violence, perhaps unnecessarily.
Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons Obviously love comic books, in addition to writing them. I came across "Watchmen" by being given it as a gift when I left England. Since then I have re-read it countless times. I had not read anything in the comicbook ...

And They Lived Happily Ever After...

by Ulysses04 , May 12 '00
Pros: Great comic, thought-inspiring, well-written and well-drawn
Cons: If you don't like comics or anything associated with them...oh well
As Kurt_H has reviewed well the many subtleties in Moore's Watchmen, I thought I'd share some of my personal observation and, hence, attraction to what many consider to be the best comic ever written, at least as far as the superhero genre goes.

Quis Custodiet?

by hochom , Oct 04 '00
Pros: Beyond belief. Read it!
Cons: Some people have problems with the ending, which requires suspension of disbelief; it's satire, dammit.


Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created "Watchmen" in the 80's, a fusion of art and writing that has never been equalled to my knowledge. In fact, I doubt it's even possible, and here's why.

"Watchmen" is a book...
