Okay, I saw the Watchmen trailer and I thought, that movie look nice. Later check who was the director, Zack Snyder (you know, the guy from ‘300′), okay it may be good. Then I discovered that it is based on a graphic novel from the 1980’s, and I thought….WHAT??? Then went to Borders and saw a whole section dedicated to the graphic novel and I thought, what the heck, let me pick one. After reading it, OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK! How I have lived all these years without knowing of this gem.

Let's see, a book with a happy face in its cover. It's should be nice for the kids. What is this red thing? Oh, it should be just ketchup!

You see, Watchmen take the fantasy world of superheroes, and make it real! Complex people, with complex problems, with complex…. costumes!!! Dr. Manhattan and its God complex. The Comedian and his sick mind. Rorschach (my favorite) and his compulsive nature. Nite Owl II and his horniness! Frankly, I don’t know how to recommend this any better. Is one of those books that it will be better to read it before watching the movie to understand it better. This is the way it was meant to experience Watchmen even if the movie turns out good. So watch now Watchmen, I will be watching you!
