: So has anybody read Watchmen?

: What turns me off is the following: - The
: coloring.
: - The costumes.
: - Most older comics lack realism that some

: Being a person who loves the Ultimates,
: Supreme Power, Rising Stars, Superman:
: Secret Identity, etc., would something like
: Watchmen appeal to me?

For me the only thing I really enjoyed about Watchmen was trying to guess which hero had been originally which Charlton character. I never enjoyed how dry and emotionless it seemed to me, the page layouts were a turn off, and I've never really been a big fan of either Gibbons or Moore. I know I'm aminority but I read the series once and have never read it again.
