Wow. Now I see why Lee is the best in the business. All of these are great though.

Not a fan of Jim Lee's take on Rorschach, his mask looks nothing like a Rorschach blot, it just looks like someone took a Sharpie and drew squiggly lines.

Love these books, despite being in Camp Skeptical up until their release. Couldn't resist picking the first few up when they arrived at the comic shop and now they're all in the pull

I'd like to see Watchmen integrated into DC's main continuity. It could be one of the parallel earths. And they could meet their original Cartlon counterparts: Captain Atom, The Question etc.

And I'd love to see Dr Manhattan meet Captain Allen Adam.

Like the Manhattan button on the Comedian.

This is what the whole thing should have been about. Really good artists doing Watchmen. No story, no sequencing no writing. Just pages and pages and issues and issues of really good, legenary artists celebrating Watchmen. Then I would have bought every damn issue AND the colleced edition. And I would have bought multiple copies. Instead, like many others, I boycotted the whole damn thing. I will have n of this.
I wonder what the sales are like. I' bet they are a lot smaller than the fanbase. A LOT smaller.

The Comedian one, while very Sin City-ish, is very cool.
