Editorial Reviews:

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: New to graphic novel medium
Comment: Watchmen is more than a long comic book. However, being a long time text reader, I am having to adjust to it. I thought you could kind of skim it like the Sunday comics, but no, you have to invest time and pay attention or you will soon be lost.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I don't read comics, ahem, graphic novels but...WOW
Comment: I just can't wait for the movie opening up in May. This a quick read and the second half picks up like throttle on a motorcycle.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Stunningly realistic
Comment: As a fan of comics that are actually relatable I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys smart, down to earth and realistic literature. While it takes some context education to really identify with the atmosphere in the story (the Cold War, for those who weren't around during those days) but this eloquent story is amazing. Questions are posed to the reader about right and wrong, what it means to be a hero, and really what real life "superheroes" would be like.
In summary, if you enjoy intelligent literature, deep stories, or just comics in general, this book is a must have.

Summary: First Comic... Utterly Mindblowing!
Comment: I have never read a Graphic novel in my life... even a small one, this was my first attempt. I now have the utmost respect for the genre. This was one of the nest NOVELS i have ever read! out of everything in my collection! Orwell, Vonnegut, King, Bradberry, even Shakespeare!, This has to be my favorite novel so far... This is a true masterpiece! Now, the real question is... The killing joke... or V? Whats next for me?
