Description
The story concerns a group called the Crimebusters and a plot to killand discredit them. Moore's characterisation is as sophisticated as any novel's. Importantly the costumes do not get in the way of the storytelling, rather they allow Moore to investigate issues of power and control--indeed it was Watchmen, and to a lesser extent Dark Knight, that propelled the comic genre forward, making "adult" comics a reality.The artwork of Gibbons (best known for 2000AD's Rogue Trooper and DC's Green Lantern) is very fine too, echoing Moore's paranoid mood perfectly throughout. Packed with symbolism, some of the overlying themes (arms control, nuclear threat, vigilantes) have dated but the intelligent social and political commentary, the structure of the story itself,its intertextuality (chapters appended with excerpts from other "works" and "studies" on Moore's characters, or with excerpts from another comic book being read by a child within the story), the fine pace of the writing and its humanity mean that Watchmen more than stands up--itretains its crown as the best the genre has yet produced.

Fading through life | |
I'm 65 years old. Everyday the future looks a little bit darker. But the past, even the grimy parts of it, well, it just keeps on getting brighter all the time. |

Très bonne histoire | |
Je ne suis pas vraiment un fanatique de BDs, mais, ayant vu le film quelques fois, je peux facilement dire que Watchmen se démarque encore, dans un monde où Marvel nous pond une série de films/histoires sans fin. Watchmen restera, pour moi - une histoire unique, avec des thèmes assez bien explorés/developpés. |

Chef d'oeuvre | |
Une saga magistrale qui, derrière une critique incisive de la société américaine d'après-guerre, révèle une humanité profonde, complexe et problématique. C'est glauque, superbe et inoubliable! |

Even better I could have imagine | |
Even better I could have imagine! Honestly I had heard great things about the movie, which I had never seen. So I was incredibly curious to read it before watching. I have to say, this comic is something else! It was so good, so real, so raw! Highly recommend it!!! |
