[QUOTE="Jordan Cole, post: 4313, member: 282"] Watchmen as many people's first comic book is a very fascinating thing. It makes total sense, but at the same time, so much of Watchmen is about subverting comics history and playing with the form of sequential storytelling in bold, groundbreaking and poetic ways to those familiar with the medium, that I do wonder if a lot of that stuff is sinking in to new readers. It's also a book that really benefits from multiple reads. I'd almost say it has to be read more than once...and flipped through back and forth again and again, the reader in command of time and space just as Dr. Manhattan is, which is what that character is kind of reflecting in a metaphorical and/or structural sense...From Hell and Providence explores similar cosmic territory. And Promethea. Or actually almost everything Moore has written...hmm. I basically read hundreds of comics every year (and a handful of not comic books as well.) I'm always happy to recommend some. I also have a Goodreads but lately I've been reading kinda crappy ones so you'd just see a bunch of bad reviews! [/QUOTE]
