Who Watches the Watchmen?

After reading Alan Moore's V for Vendetta graphic novel (you saw the film adaptation?) I was amazed on the storywriting of this comic. This lead me to love graphic novels.

Then I heard of the greatest comic/graphic novel called The Watchmen.

A story that changes Superhero comic traditions forever.

I finally downloaded all 12 Chapters and was filled with unique cinematic experience of the comic itself. Pulled into panel to panel, the story and the characters grip you to read more of the story.

In the 80's alternate history America, masked adventurers are real and are now illegal and banned. The story begins when one of their own was murdered and Rorschach, the only masked adventurer still active, suspects a mask-killer on the loose.

But the real pull in this story is the lives of these superheroes who, compared to our own, are very human.

With characters like The Comedian, Ozymandias, Nite Owl II, Rorschach, Silk Spectre II and Dr. Manhattan, you will find out what is it really like to be a superhero.

A film adaptation is on the works (don't mind the year, the poster up there is a failed project about to be relived again) with Zack Snyder on the director chair (His latest movie, 300 will be released in March 9th).

There are other movies you can find in youtube.com where Watchmen fans make their own adaptation.

A video version of Page 5 in the comic, featuring Rorschach.

And a mock trailer in 3D. It would be cool if they actually made one.
