Absolute WATCHMEN Review! New Printing!
Ойын-сауық
Today we take a look at Absolute WATCHMEN by Alan Moore! 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.
Collects: WATCHMEN issues 1-12

I bought a small version of the watchman today it was 8 dollars
Nice one! I bought this recently for £56 from books etc here in England. I have a massive collection of graphic novels and omni's but barely any absolutes! I thought omni's were enough for me but even though i've many favourites, Watchmen will always be my number one so I had to purchase this classic! Absolutes have pulled me in now though...lol...I've got Batman killing joke, Doomsday clock, Watchmen and I've ordered Batman year one ( my favourite batman tpb ) and Preacher vol 1 ( Love Ennis and Preacher is incredible) so these few absolutes no doubt will start growing like my big Omni collection! I tried to keep away but these massive books have drawn me in damn it!! 😂😃✌️

Nice! I love me some Omnis but I really do think Absolutes are perfect for material like this. I have Doomsday Clock still gotta check that one out. I’ve heard mixed things but I love me some Watchmen material! Thanks for taking a look 🙏🏻

Great overview on this one budd. Been waiting for it! Watchmen is one of the goat’s. Such a great and gritty story. This is definitely the format to get it in. Imma have to order this soon cause it’s beautiful and it’s a story I want to revisit.

Same my dude. I obly have one. The long halloween one. Batman. But I always wanted this one! I think I MIGHT get it. Because it has the smiley cover. Other versions f up the cover sadly.
I’m 22 and trying to read through watchmen right now and it’s a struggle tbh. I haven’t found much pre 2000 that I like. I always find older stores too wordy for me. I could see why it’s time changing though in 1986

Completely understand. Honestly these days after reading so much modern indie material it’s a bit of a chore reading any older stuff. I can always revisit some of the classics like this tho. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@@drocksteadyreviews for sure, this is one of my favorite collected edition channels. I might try swamp thing by Alan Moore with the recoloring. Batman year one was great and I enjoyed animal man by Morrison so there is hope for me🤣

Are you talking about Alan Moore exclusively or comics pre 2000 in general? I havent read watchmen yet, but I have a hard time liking his stuff for now… Tried to read from hell and couldnt finish it. I read also some of the extraordinary gentlemen stuff and it was meh. I read the courtyard the other day and it was very poor and disapointing. I want to try swamp thing now. And watchmen. But most of the time I find his stuff either overhyped or pretentious because what s the point of doing wordy comics this way? Boring to read. Write a book instead … but i havent read watchmen yet (saw the movie and the serie though).
