One of the best books ever, if not the best. That's all I'm saying now cuz it'll just be a waste of my time to say more. I just want you all to know you're missing something special if you haven't read it, and that I'd marry it if I didn't have a girlfriend.

Yay a reply.

Ah **** it, Wikipedia can handle this one:

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.

Okay people. More Watchmen conversation is needed now. Butler, you have no excuse now, the book is probably everywheres now. I hear that a lot of bookstores are getting extras in to tie in with the recent interest in it due to the movie that's coming next year.

Oh yeah, the trailer.

That sounds familiar.

The trailer looks sweet, and if I wasn't so behind on my other reading material I might pick this up.

What you meant to say was, "Even though I'm behind on my reading list, I'm going to pick this up and read it today because Obdurate is such a great guy and his taste in everything is fucking awesome."
