Watchmen by Alan MooreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oh wow ok yeah this was pretty good!
Alan Moore's writing can come across as quite pretentious but when it all comes together it really blows you away.
This was brilliantly crafted, with some incredible characters and crazy moments. Some not particularly likeable, but intriguing enough to make you want more of them.
Everything revolving around Dr Manhattan was a standout.
Definitely a masterful comic, but particularly notable because it was one of the first to push things this hard. Because of that, it might have newer readers enjoying but not necessarily understanding the fuss.
I think Rorschach's manner of speaking did end up a little too unbearable for me, and the political stuff went a little over my head, which is why it wasn't a perfect read for me. But certainly a great comic well worth reading and worth all the praise it receives.
