Ok. To truly understand the awe that is The Watchmen, you have to rewind to the mentality of the world when it came out. At the time, most comics were for 'kids' and were whitewashed so there was good and evil and good always won
( ... )
It's a groundbreaking comic mini-series that was then combined into the very first "Graphic Novel" and is really what changed the mentality of comics.
There is no "Watchmen", not like how "XMen" is a comic about a group of superheroes called the XMen. No, it's just a title. The only 'group' in the comic is an old disbanded one that was called the Minutemen. In fact, in the series superheroes/vigilantes have been outlawed (again).
Truly it's just a real literary novel just told with graphics not simply text. That's why it coined the term "Graphic Novel".
