Who watches the Watchmen? I won't!

This Watchmen graphic novel is a rampantly over-hyped tripe. The finale is lackadaisical and ludicrously horrid (think of the 9/11 conspiracy theory reversed with some large OGM beamed up), the characters absolutely repugnant, the political view outdated, the moral homilies absolutely uncalled for, the sexophobic, homophobic rants of a liberal hater. Plus, the story is a major depressant, worse than Kafka and Sartre.What's so great in this depressing rigmarole? A blue man god with superpowers and his funny dressed burned out psycho crime fighters friends?A fictional counterfactual story of the Eighties? Gore everywhere? Character you'll wissh to forget soon?You know, if you want a story that deals with humanity, super-powers, complex characters and exquisite graphic, read Warren Ellis' Freakangels and Planetary.
