The Watchmen

What the hell is this? I never heard of the comic, but see the movie trailer all the time.

Do you need people to tell you or you couldn't go look at their Wiki entry?

Sufice to know it is a dark superhero novel set in the 80's era, when history and its events did not go as they have (we won the vietnam war).

Considered the best graphic novel ever made and it topped regular book lists as well.

Read before the movie and you'll be even more impressed with the film... hopefully.

It should be a solid adaptation of the comic novels.

Still this should be in the top 5 this year....

The OP's question has been answered so I'm closing the thread.
