A heads up though. A lot of what’s in The Watchmen was original, genre breaking, and changed the way comics are thought about as well as written.
Which means that someone coming across it now can end up being disappointed in how ununique it feels. A lot of what makes it great was copied by other writers afterwards, so when you run across a trope, be aware that there’s a good chance the trope started there.
Oh well, not everything is going to work for everyone. But, at least you have a point of reference for it now, which is always worth the time spent, imo.
It’s an incredible work.

I gave up on the second chapter.

What was it that made you put it down?
Casablanca is incredibly clichéd now. But it’s what started a lot of those clichés.
This is a great forward for anyone diving into watchmen. I personally think it still holds up really well though.
