Growing up I was not a traditional comic nerd. I enjoyed more the short form stories that came in the form of graphic Novels. One that stands above many others if The Watchmen.
I found in it's pages the themes and questions that would be of huge influence to me in my life.
I could see the world of The Comedian, Rorscach, and Dr. Manhattan in my own world. Granted minus the masked heros.
I say it is one of the works that changed my life.
I have it on my bookshelf next to 1984.
I have hope for Zak snyder.
