Just Watchmen. Just the Comic.
Professor Snuggles:
I lent my copy of this to someone like 6 years ago and never got it back. Same with DKR. I'm not okay with it.
KvP:
Yeah, it's pretty good.
phooey:
Gave my copy to a twitchy girl with an afro and I don't know if I'll get it back.
BlackBooks:
Re-reading my copy now; I'm up to the point where Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are busting Rorshach out of prison. Dude, this book is awesome.
Question: What is your take on "The Black Freighter?" I think it's a great story in and of itself, but it's just so damn distracting from the plot of Watchmen. The whole thing lifts right out, and I think the story loses nothing. What do you all think?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ("Who watches the watchmen?")

SirJuggles:
A fair point. I'm sure my high school literature teachers would make some argument about it symbolically tying into the character's inner journeys. Oh wait, they couldn't be convinced to care about a comic book. I dunno, personally I just loved some of the tie-ins with the words of one narrative matching the illustration for another.
