Weekly Comic Review: Watchmen

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

"Who watches the Watchmen?"

Watchmen is an amazing story, and a great example of just what a comic book can be.

The only other comic that I've read on this level (which I highly recommend) is the manga "Buddha" by Osamu Tezuka.

Anyway, I am not looking forward to the Watchmen movie. As everyone has said, the story is so thoroughly designed to take advantage of being a comic that there's no way a film could come close to being a decent adaptation.

A 12-24 episode animated series would be close, but still not the same (it still wouldn't have the 'articles' that fleshed things out).

I do have a question, though. What does the "Absolute Edition" have that the regular paper-back doesn't?

Also, did anyone know this was on Time magazine's 100 best novels list?

OK, I'll shut up, now.
