Watchmen (DC Comics US) reviews

‘Watchmen’ is absolutely brilliant. Cannot wait to see the movie adaptation. Would recommend to anyone – if you need assurance, it's on Time's 100 best novel list. Also winner of the Hugo Award, which is a sci-fi achievement of some sort. The writing is spectacular, as is the art, Moore and Gibbons outdid themselves making ‘Watchmen’, and it shows. If you've never read a graphic novel before, start with Watchmen.

Watchmen is seriously the greatest graphic novel of all time. You should read this book even if you don't think you like comics. The characters are brilliant. The plot is brilliant. The artwork is brilliant. The writing is brilliant. The storyline is just as relevant as at the time of writing. Don't read the plot summaries. Don't read reviews with spoilers. Just buy this book and read it through, you won't be disappointed!

There is a movie coming out so much more interest is focused on this book. Unfortunately over the years this book has gotten hyped to the extent that a new reader will no doubt find themselves disappointed it is not the greatest thing they have ever read. The pacing is slow by modern standards and the ideas are high concept for a comic book about superheroes. It will take a bit of patience and thought to get the most from this book but the effort is well worth it.

Widely known as one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. After finally reading it I find all the acclaim was accurate. Everything about this novel is amazing, the artwork and writing most noticeably.
Every comic buff must read Watchmen.

A very good novel if your a fan of the movie or if you liked the movie and want a bit more depth.

I'm new to ‘graphic novels’ and did not know what to expect. Watchman exceeded all expectations and was most enjoyable to read and was complimented exceptionally well by Dave Gibson's graphic work. I'm now hooked and are looking forward to experiencing Alan Moore's other titles. If you're considering watching the movie, I would strongly recommend reading this novel beforehand!!!
