Watchmen

Just started reading Watchmen. I'm just going to assume anyone with access to the Internet has heard about it. It's... good? Well, I don't think it is-hold on, let me get it- "the greatest piece of popular fiction ever produced" or "a masterwork representing the apex of artestry" or "the second Bible" or anything, but there are a lot of really interesting metaphores. However, this can get kind of annoying if you have to analyze every single image on Alan Moore's retna-searingly small panals. Not for the kiddies, either! But a great excersie in theoreticallity. In some places it seems as if the whole premise was created as a vehicle for a million literary devices.
