February 3, 2012 6:28 pm They have the right to make it, I have the right not to read it. I hope everyone likes it, I'd be surprised if it's anything less than adequate. I just don't have interest. I understand the Superman analogy, it just doesn't sit with me as that is a character/universe that has been expanded upon and written by others since the beginning basically. Watchmen is so self-contained and is its own story. Just as I wouldn't want to watch a Taxi Driver movie not associated with Schrader or Scorsese, read a Harry Potter book by someone other than Rowling or flip through anyone other than Robinson on Box Office Poison. This isn't to say you or anyone else shouldn't do so. I just choose not to.

July 22, 2011 11:35 am Can I have them all?

I have noticed a real divide on the ending though, with the modern day stuff. What's everyone else feeling on it? I didn't mind it myself.

June 30, 2011 3:56 pm Hated it myself and wrote about for the site I work for.

This series has never done much for me though, so keep that in mind I suppose.
