Before I get into my review, I decided that if I ever do a review that it will be structured in a way where I explain what I 'would have liked to have seen.' Whether I will come up with a catchier phrase later on is unknown.
These reviews, consequently, will always be spoiler heavy.

Huh they probably can't afford to listen, those no good cheap dirty...
Not enough blue penis humor in my review I guess.
It seems like nothing about the story bothers people and that disturbs me. Most fans act like it's perfect. No one seems to have anything negative to say about it. Everyone talks about the subtext "You just didn't get the subtext" Is there something in the subtext that make the story less bleak. Or am I supposed to like it because it's bleak and depressing and disturbing?
How can I possibly be the only member on this site that doesn't like the Watchmen graphic novel. What you said about it being powerful makes perfect sense, but I don't think that makes it enjoyable. The story has no heart. The conclusions are mostly negative, if not entirely. I can understand appreciating it as a literary work, but I can't understand people who say they love it or they've read it multiple times, or that it is the greatest graphic novel of all time. How can a story be the "greatest of all time" when it leaves the reader with nothing?
I am a fan of the Dark Tower series. I consider it the best series I've ever read.
*spoiler*
It does not have a happy ending( although you get to choose 1 of 2 possible endings ), *spoiler end* but the entire story was captivating. There were high points and low points, joy and despair. Where as the Watchmen was mostly if not entirely despair. Why is a story like the Watchmen, with it's deviant characters and emotional degradation, and unrelenting theme of despair so cherished? You'd think people get enough of that in the real world. Why would anyone want to spend their free time reading about it?
Happy to be here!
