So masterful it sucks the fun out of reading it	Customer Rating:
I'm a huge graphic novel fan....I especially like the dark and serious ones. So I have to thank Watchmen for helping to usher in this style of graphic novel....but the actual experience of reading it isn't that enjoyable. It is so self-indulgent and pretentious, that it often becomes boring to read. Frankly, I was disappointed considering all of the hype surrounding it.

Watchmen graphic novel	Customer Rating:
Great story, great artwork. Alan Moore tells an excellent tale of superheros and the human condition. An adult storyline, not for young children.

Watchman paperback review

Customer Rating:

This book is a phenomenal read. I had a really hard time putting it down from the moment I got it and finished it in two days. I highly recommend this book, both for its graphic style and for its story. It's a little eerie how this cold war era book rings true today, many years later. I think this book is a great read for both comic and graphic novel fans as well as the casual reader. If you're looking at getting a friend into graphic novels, this is the book to use to hook them in.

As good as storytelling gets

Customer Rating:

I had heard quite a bit of the hype for Watchmen, particularly with the movie being announced. So I finally decided to give it a shot and see if it lived up to it. It's so rare for any form of media to stand up to today's hype machine. Between the trailer for the movie, friends constantly talking it up, forums constantly talking it up. It's almost not fair to book, comics, games, music, etc. But this is one of the few things I've come across recently that lived up to - and shattered - all the hype. This is just plain phenomenal in every way. If you're a fan of comics, if you're a fan of great artwork, if you're a fan of great storytelling. You'd be doing yourself a disservice by not reading this. Get it! It's that simple!

Great Read!!! If you've never read a graphic read this!	Customer Rating:
I have to say this was my first graphic novel and I couldn't put it down. After reading this I was immediately hooked on any type of comic, the DC Universe especially! The illustrations are vibrant, the characters are wonderfully depicted by the author, and the story line is riveting. This is a great hero comic diffferent from the rest that is essential to every comic book reader's collection.
