Watchmen

Oooh! Color! Granted, color doesn't necessarily make something good, but I do enjoy the fact that we are reading something that employs color. I have seen V for Vendetta in the past, and, so far, I am not disappointed in reading another of Moore's works. Granted, we are going to be reading V for Vendetta soon enough, but I was excited to begin something by someone I've already been acquainted with. Again, my roommate stole and read the entirety of Watchmen before I even got a chance to open it. Unfortunately, he loved it so much, it no longer looks new. The cover is bent up and I'm a little upset about it, but there's not too much I can do.

So far, I do enjoy the violence (Yeah, that sounds bad, but it's a good departure from the lovey dovey crap we just read, not that Blankets was bad, but I tend to enjoy some good ol' fashioned action more so than whiney teenage love.) and the artwork is fantastic. I am quite confident that that Watchmen will live up to the hype that not only my neighbor and my roommate put on it, but also to the hype on the back.
