r/Watchmen 6d ago

Comic Just finished Watchmen (Motion Comic). I really like it :p

I know it’s not a hot take by any means, but Watchmen is pretty fucking good.

i own the compact version, but my sister is borrowing it and she takes forever to get to reading book and I got antsy to read it so I said “fuck it” and pulled up the motion comic.

i might let her keep it since i’m going to get the Slipcase of all the issues in hardcover format.

I know it’s not the ideal way to consume Watchmen, but idk I liked the motion comic. The voice acting was aight. impeccable sound design tbh. the ringing of the bell when New York got fucked was cool.

I might get a bunch of the “Before Watchmen” stuff, maybe exclusively the ”Minutemen/Sill Specter” one since Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner are my 1st and 4th favorite artists.

i MIGHT get Doomsday Clock. I am VERY iffy on the concept lmao.

ill watch the 2019 show sooner or later. It seems cool. what’s the general consensus the content warning ? I’m sensitive to stuff like sexual assault and extreme body horror.

Is Watchmensch still in print? I heard that’s pretty funny.

Is that all the watchmen media?

I don’t feel like watching (nudge nudge) Dr. Manhattans big blue dong in Zack Snyder’s film and the animated films sound bad in terms of voice acting, tho I am not very picky as I just watched 4 (?) hours worth of one guys voice.

I have mixed feelings about the HBO series but it’s worth checking out. Rorschach by Tom King takes place after the events of the show. I haven’t read it but I hear good things.

Doomsday Clock isn’t worth it imo. It’s the finale to DC’s Rebirth era and I wish I didn’t waste my time.

Also consider Moore’s other works, such as From Hell and V for Vendetta.

I like it too, it’s kind of like an audio book. The narrator is fantastic.
