OK, so I bought this wonderful graphic novel titled "Watchmen." I bought it because I have become interested in comic as of lately and an acquaintance recommended it to me. I had no knowledge that there was a movie being produced at the time, nor that there was even one in preproduction. However the next day, at school, I was enlightened by a large number of my friends. Many questions were asked if I was excited about the movie that would be coming out. They received looks of curiosity and confusion, as if a cat where staring at them when you've hidden their, little, toy mouse. A number of thoughts went through my head, a number of thoughts hoping that people wouldn't assume that I was just into it because it was a movie or that I was some kind of poser.

But on to the actual topic. Watchmen. What a wonderful book and, dare I say, novel. The story line is complex and has the depth of a Classical musical composition. It deserves to be hailed as one of the greatest graphic novels of all time, if not the greatest. At first I was utterly confused and had no idea what was going on. Then I realized that I was reading it like a comic book and not like a real story, with real characters that aren't simply superheros. I don't know what to say about this, it was so good and I am excited to see the movie and read it again in the near future.
