Not my cup of tea. Not the best writing when in comparison to others.

Read this a few years ago, in advance of the movie and was blown away. Recently I was recommending it to a friend as an iconic work in the graphic novel genre and decided to read it again.
Watchmen is amazing. A tremendous work of art. Mysterious, thrilling, gut wrenching, captivating. It's one hell of a ride and deserves its distinction as one of TIME magazines 100 best novels. It was such a pleasure to enjoy Watchmen again and I already can't wait for the next time I get to enjoy Alan Moore's masterpiece.… (more)

Watchmen, the greatest graphic novel of all time? Maybe.

I can’t really say I’m qualified to make this judgement - my familiarity with the genre is limited to reading a few Star Trek comics with my daughter. But Watchmen has a lot of positive attributes worth pointing out. It was published in the eighties during the Cold War, and the tensions of the time are skillfully reflected in a unique alternate history.

The super hero characters are not the typical one-dimensional perfect Superman type. With the exception of Dr. Manhattan, all are distinctly human, with complex emotions and no amazing superpowers. They are believable real people, who don costumes and become masked vigilantes. The plot centers around the primary characters investigating a murder, with numerous interwoven flashbacks and side stories set against a backdrop of heightened international tension and the threat of World War III. Each chapter is followed by an article or book extract which provide great background stories to the main plot. I particularly enjoyed Tales of the Black Freighter, a comic book which one of the characters is reading in the main story. And you gotta love Bernie the newspaperman, my favorite character!

At the end of the day, I thought this was a great story, well written with excellent illustration, but it didn’t excite me enough to give it a 4 or 5 star rating. I would recommend reading it though. It can’t be denied as groundbreaking in the graphic novel/comic genre.
