Hard to tell what's going on but that looks very damn cool.

Mmmm, Carla Gugino. She's gorgeous.

Wow, that does indeed look pretty awesome. I have some faith now that it isn't going to suck.

I think I just filled the cup!

Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. Originally published by DC Comics as a monthly limited series from 1986 to 1987, it was later republished as a trade paperback, which popularized the "graphic novel" format. To date, Watchmen remains the only graphic novel to win a Hugo Award, and is also the only graphic novel to appear on Time Magazine's 2005 list of "the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present."

Watchmen is set in 1985, in an alternative history United States where costumed adventurers are real and the country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union (the Doomsday Clock is at five minutes to midnight). It tells the story of a group of past and present superheroes and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of their own. Watchmen depicts superheroes as real people who must confront ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses and failings, and who - with one notable exception - lack anything recognizable as super powers. Watchmen's deconstruction of the conventional superhero archetype, combined with its innovative adaptation of cinematic techniques and heavy use of symbolism, multi-layered dialogue, and metafiction, has influenced both comics and film.

Isn't the Doomsday clock at 5 minutes to midnight now?

Edit: Also had no idea what was going on there.

Alan Smithee?

Wonder if it'll get a little watered down in the translation :/

wtf is with the gay batsuit?

He's called Nite Owl.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the novel for less than Borders ($40 fkn jip)??

Probably cheaper to get it shipped from Amazon.

ha so my sig comes of some relevance:P
hopefully its not watered down cause f*** there was some carnage in that comic. 300 was pretty bad ass when it came to carnage so hopefully it stays true to it :)

Heh, it was ages until I knew what your sig was. Wasn't until I read Watchmen a few years back, and I thought "where have I seen this image before?"

Sweet, might try and find this while i'm over here to avoid the slaw of US shipping.
