Sometimes I wonder if I really deserve the label 'geek'...

[hoshiadam]

I'm about 2/3rds the way through Watchmen...and it is really not doing anything for me. At this point, I'm reading it in the hopes that it gets better. I think there are some things that I enjoy...but really, its not that good.

'scuse me while I go off and be a heretic geek.

I didn't care that much for Watchmen either. But then again, I know that I'm not a good geek sometimes.

Heresy!!!!! Burn the heretic!!!

heh.

Don't worry if it is not for you. You still keep your geek card.

I'll grab the marshmallows.. at least something good can come of it all....

Boo the heretic! =)

Get him!

Well it was more shocking in 1987 then now as comics in general changed to meet the level of darkness that Watchmen brought. However it ends great! Also I have to ask you are a Marvel or a DC guy? I think that is something to factor in.

[hoshiadam]

Not a comic book geek at all :)

[tomdpimp]

Well that is the problem! A geek that is not into to Comic books! Destroy him!!!! He is a spy!!

[guardian_4ngel]

yup that's a violation of the Geek code of Geekiness.. BURN THE HERETIC!!!

Marshmallows anyone?

Yeah, I can live without the pirate comic-within-a-comic. I also skipped over most of the end-chapter prose, even though I found it interesting when I reread it later.

I just love Rorshach's unwillingness to compromise, as well as the ending.

[guardian_4ngel]

Yeah I did the same thing, I should really go back and read those...

Yeah Rorshach was my favorite character just for that reason!

Oh! Those were amazing, the way they followed the storyline. I loved the pirates comic.

I vastly prefer V for Vendetta over Watchmen.
