Well...

I read The Watchmen last week, yah I wanted to read it before I saw the movie...

Also I have a problem of PAYING for comics I don't know if I like or not and so I never really wanted to pay 20 bucks for it....

ANY way I found it at the local library and decided to read it!

It was...

Well...

Interesting.

I mean it wasn't as good as people SAY it was, it seemed to me the first half of the book was old superheroes whining about everything from how they were treated by friends and how they were used to being popular. to the government mistreating them to how there kids would end up to ...

UGH!

Also one thing that urks me when writers do is the whole "Look at how good of a writer I am I have more than one storyline and one set of characters!"

I mean I get it, don't get me wrong but this book had like ten storylines going on NOT including any of the main characters, even a fictional story that was running parallel to whole book!

Other things that bugged me was there was no sound effects either and it was made even MORE annoying because there was a few panels where the phone was ringing and rather than a simple *ring ring*
It all

"yah I've been fallowing the superheroes pretty clo... oh hey the phone's ringing!"

And if someone was sick rather than

"Man I don't feel so good"

COUGH COUGH

It would be all

"oh man I don't feel so good EEEEEEEEEUUUGH KAAAGH KAGH!!!!!!"

It just constantly seemed to interrupt the flow of dialog an made the book almost annoying to read!

By the time the story actually started and they stopped with all the extra "Look at how good of a writer I am" crap I was really finding hard to care about the story, witch was...

Ummmm......

...

OH YAH I remember it was some one was trying to kill the superheroes...but a nother hero was the killer and he was trying to create a dimensional portal to bring an alien to New York, basically Sci-Fi themed terrorism, for creating a new world...or....something

Then some heroes are killed because they don't like that he did it and others are all "Well I guess there's nothing we can do..."

The end

Was it worthy of all kinds of crazy awards?

I can't help but think if I had read it in the 80's it would have been better.
