Watchmen: Absolute Edition
Watchmen: Absolute Edition | Alan Moore
14 posts | 20 read | 1 to read
SOON TO BE A FEATURE FILM!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.

Got Absolute Watchmen on a whim from my library and the larger page scale makes such a difference. Gibbons' art absolutely soars from the bigger dimensions.

KathyWheeler I have the Absolute Sandman books and love them for that reason. I‘ve never seen the Absolute Watchmen before though. 2y

Bought this from Vintage Stock yesterday. Never read it. Just the movie (in which I hate most of the casting)

A nihilistic plot, horrible characters, graphic violence, wavering timeline and misogyny. I would have bailed but I spent money on this.

Amiable I finally read this a few years ago at the urging of my husband and son. I totally agree with you. 😖 4y
Nebklvr @Amiable The only positive is it did capture the fear of nuclear catastrophe at the time. Any time women were in the scene....rage inducing. 4y
Amiable @Nebklvr I said the same thing to my husband and son while I was reading it— they didn‘t understand my disgust. 😖 4y
Nebklvr @Amiable Some colleges teach it so I hope they spend some time acknowledging it. 4y

I have an awful habit of getting halfway through books and getting distracted by others! So I decided to dedicate December to finishing off all the books I left hanging. Managed to finish the bottom 5 already and am hopeful to finish at least another 4, my work schedule allowing 😂😂

Quite enjoyed this one.
I can surely see why it made such big waves,
It was way, way ahead of its time.

Does anyone here subscribe to comixology? I saw a promo the other day that said they were offering a 60 day free trial. Just wondering if anyone here has experience with them or opinions they would share. Many thanks! 😊

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Watchmen is a lot, and not all of it has aged well, but there are some really beautiful moments, aren‘t there? 5y
Sweettartlaura @TobeyTheScavengerMonk This is pretty new to me. I got a really gorgeous compilation with a box for $5 from my local comic book store - couldn‘t pass it up 🤷🏻‍♀️. With the new series coming to HBO, I‘m reading it chapter a day. 5y
Sweettartlaura It IS a lot - a LOT! 😜. But I am enjoying it. Especially Dr Manhattan‘s moments, for some reason. 5y

Doing this on Facebook and it seemed kinda fun to do here. You are meant to tag someone but heck if you wanna join in anyway just copy the text below. Might be fun 🙂 Day 1
I accepted the challenge of posting the covers of 7 books I love, no explanations, no reviews - just the covers.

Poignant, timely, and sadly still socially relevant... a must-read for any comic book fan.

This chapter is so beautiful... both in concept and execution. It's one of my favorite parts of the film, and was just as satisfying to read.

This compilation usually sells for $100.
This slightly used version was marked at $50.
I used my punch card at my local comic book store & got it for $5.

You have to take a deal like this. I mean, you just have to 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cinfhen Sounds like u got a steal!!!! 6y
Sweettartlaura @Cinfhen I absolutely did 🙌🏻 6y

One panel, and in it one guy in a diner reads about war, one guy outside rattles on about war, and we see the actual caption a kid's reading about a personal war. And this is nothing special. This is what comic books are built to let happen.
