Who's Killing The SuperHeroes In Nixon's 1985 America?

Date of Review:  May 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: One of the best works of literature in my home. And I do have more than just comic books, smart guy.
Review: I'm a confirmed DC Comics man. While that means nothing to most of you, hopefully, let me explain: There are two major comics companies out there: DC Comics, whose stable of characters includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern,...

THE WATCHMEN

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a classic of literature, not comics, literature. It is one the best things you will ever read.
Review: The Watchmen Written by Alan Moore. Art by Dave Gibbons.

Noui consilia et ueteres quaecumque monetis amici,
"Pone seram, cohibe".
Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes
Cauta est et ab illis incipit uxor

Watchmen, by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: Naturally, the best, probably most important, comic in the world is also one of the hardest to find. But believe me, it's worth the search.
Review: What if you could change the world? What if you could unite the planet in a common goal and put an end to war? What if you had to kill 3 million people to do it?

Let me start at the beginning, or as close to the beginning as I can.

On Friday Night, a Comedian Died in New York

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2009
The Bottom Line: Watchmen is a Sprawling, Ambitious, & Entrancing Masterpiece from Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons.
Review:
Throughout the history of comic books, the stories created by writers often excited its fans though many felt that comics weren't taken seriously. While writers would create lengthy series of comics to match a single story or plot line that...

Anticipation Grows For "Watchmen:" A Superb Graphic Novel!

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: A fairly incredible graphic novel, when retired superheroes are hunted and discredited, it seems to relate to a plan to bring about nuclear armageddon between the US and the USSR!
Review: I would like to talk, for a moment, about the penis. The penis; the organ with perhaps the most euphemisms associated with it - phallus, dick, prick, wang, johnson, and hundreds of others - this body part is found on almost half the world's...

Who watches the Watchmen?

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2000
Review: This stunning volume encompasses the WATCHMEN comic book series as put forth by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The mid-1980's saw a resurgence in comic books that concentrated on hard looks at characters, adult themes and intricate social settings...

Alan Moore's Watchmen: The Story that Changed Comic Books Forever

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you have absolutely any interest in comic books as a genre, this is like...the comic book version of The Lord of the Rings (my version of ultimate praise).
Review: Travel back in time with me to 1985. Tricky Dick was still president--during his fifth term of office. The Soviets were on the verge of invading Afghanistan and Western Europe, held in check only by the world's one true superhero, the naked,...

POTUS W/O: Nixon and Rohrshach are the real heroes of Alan Moore's "Watchmen".

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: All right, I hated the ending. . .sorta. As for the Cold War. . .nothing brings people together like a common enemy, eh? Gorbachev and Nixon. . .the ultimate peacemakers.
Review: I found out earlier this month about lorendiac's write/off on the American presidency. Determined to make a contribution, I went to the video store and slowly went through all the "Drama" titles. I considered renting "Amistad," "Megiddo: Armageddon...

Who watches the Watchmen?

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you haven't read this, read it! If you have, read it again!
Review: I haven't read any comics for ages. Four days ago, I went to the store, and I saw a giant box set called Absolute Watchmen. The smiley face with the blood on it really caught my attention. The box claimed that it was one of the best comics ever. I...

And They Lived Happily Ever After...

Date of Review:  May 12, 2000
Review: As Kurt_H has reviewed well the many subtleties in Moore's Watchmen, I thought I'd share some of my personal observation and, hence, attraction to what many consider to be the best comic ever written, at least as far as the superhero genre goes.
