Watchmen
A hit HBO original series, Watchmen, the groundbreaking series from award-winning author Alan Moore, presents a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history--the U.S. won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the Cold War is in full effect. Considered the greatest graphic novel in the history of the medium, the Hugo Award-winning story chronicles the fall from grace of a group of superheroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the superhero is dissected as an unknown assassin stalks the erstwhile heroes. This edition of Watchmen, the groundbreaking series from Alan Moore, the award-winning author of V For Vendetta and Batman: The Killing Joke, features art from industry legend Dave Gibbons, with high-quality, recolored pages found in Watchmen: Absolute Edition.

I’m not a huge graphic novel reader, but this one had me hooked and I finished it in just a few days. Good read.
Watchmen is a great read, and quite influential to the comic book industry. Overall I had no issues with this book, though at times it is very mundane. If you come into it expecting a traditional comic book you will be disappointed as Watchmen is about subverting the genre and the morality of being a superhero.
