Who Watches The Watchmen?

Watchmen get!

Me! Or, well, I did. And yeah it totally sucked me in, to the point that it made me buy my first “graphic novel”. Back in the day it’d be called a comic book, though. But it’s fantastic. I’ve really been sucked in to the whole world, and I’m working my way through the original comic slowly but surely. I’m about half way through, and I’m constantly surprised by how many of the lines from the comic were used in the film directly, without butchering or anything.

It’s a good one. But, is it a stepping stone to introduce me to the world of comic books? I highly doubt it. I’ve found myself realising that, without the film adaptation, I’d be very lost within the complex world built up, and the many characters and their relationships. The film laid it out, and the comic is adding the little details that I wanted to know about. I just don’t think comics are for me, but this is an exception to the rule.

Anyway; sorry about the lack of writing recently, things have been pretty busy lately as I keep saying, but my leisure time is constantly being kept to a minimum right now with work taking up pretty much all of my time. Not to say that’s a bad thing, mind - I’m loving having something to do as opposed to doing fack all constantly!
