Um, the second time? (It's ok, I'm not the brightest dude out there)
Although I know Wanted is not everybody's cup of tea, I think the racism and misogyny bits were consciously put in there for a reason.

I quite enjoyed the movie. I think the comic sounds like utter shit. Excess for the sake of excess. The movie wasn't artistic by any means, but at least it threw out all the "be a dick for the sake of being a dick" dickery.
I mean, seriously, the last line of the comic was "This is me fucking you in the ass."... no.

Man, we should probably start a Watchmen literary analysis thread. There's a good deal to talk about beyond the role of the hero, such as the underlying issues or power and morality and morality as power).
I need to read From Hell, particularly to see if my instinct that Moore and I have very different interpretations of the Victorian period is correct.

already recommended quite a few times in this thread but maybe repetition will drive the point home - please, please do read craig thompson's blankets if you haven't already.
it's an absolute masterpiece. i can't count how many times i've read this. beautifully written, beautifully illustrated. every panel is incredible. one of the most sincere, absorbing, heartbreaking, and life changing books i have ever read.

Blankets was awesome, but Good-Bye, Chunky Rice was really weird.
