I am reading it right now. I was also wondering what everybody else thought about it.

a cliche back when this was written?
Some of us can't stand the after-taste, you know.
I happened to like Watchmen a helluva lot, but I also take issue with anyone who claims it as the be-all and end-all of the comic book world.
I figured. I just wondered if Moore had invented the thing himself, or just kind of played with the cliche.
What about greatest superhero comic?
What's your vote?
Not Watchmen, though.
It was a damn good comic, and definitely one of the better comics I have ever read.
I don't really think of it as a superhero comic though because
Though I don't remember it in the comic, there is this Outer Limits episode.
I believe they actually mention that episode slyly in the book, as sort of an admission of, "Yes, I know, it's been done. Let's keep moving."
well, if you don't count 'liquid metal man come from the future to kill my mom and me and am saved by robot surrogate father'
of course, it is no coincidence that schwarzenegger was in that film as well
Guess who said this. No googling.

I mean, substitute "The Future" with "Mt Olympus" and "Shape changing" for "Liquid Metal" and "Horny god" for "Robot".
It's all been done.
Edit: I realize you where probably being sarcastic. But I've typed this far, and now I have to hit the button.
No, he's not very arrogant, is he?
-edit-
Edited for clarity, I meant that as a question, not a statement.
i'm kidding, i actually already knew who it was, but why should i ruin the game because i'm so damn brilliant
Every time I read it I discover something new, like looking at a Rorschach test.
Hey! That's the name of a character!

Some more than others though. I mean, Nite Owl looks a lot like Blue Beetle, Rorshach is pretty much the Question with a different mask, however the Comedian doesn't look much like Peacemaker and Captain Atom never walked around naked.
Ah. I was gonna say something to that effect but I kept typing Charelton. Now, they were around prior to the eighties then?
Luckily I think you are being sarcastic. If I thought you were serious, I would be bleeding from the ears.
dingdingding winar!
i've been trying to think of a series I liked more than Watchmen since someone started this thread but I can't. I don't think there has ever been a better comic writer than Moore.

It is so fantastically written, it is one of the few comics that I consider to be a true peice of literature.
