111. I can see it. But then again, I just kind of desperately want fic of Blitz with someone.
...
I did so love their intro-interaction.



140. Mm. Really, Watchmen, to me, isn't like most comics. Most Alan Moore stories aren't. They're like books. Thick ones. Books that you'd probably read in a Gifted English class and discuss in minutia. It just happens that the absolute best media to tell his stories in...is comics. Visual, but with controlled time and prose.

Your "12 issues and it's this popular?" statement is just plain ignorant. You might as well say that about Star Wars (originals) or Back to the Future--3 movies and they're this popular. Watchmen was a complete story from beginning to end, and in all honesty, it's not one that you can only read once. I finally, with some misgivings, picked it up for the second time around and listened to an issue-by-issue podcast after reading it...and it blew my mind. It is still not my favourite sort of story by a long shot, but it is a good story. It's as finely crafted as a museum piece.

It's probably fair to say Watchmen is the Citizen Kane of comics. Not everyone's read it/seen it, it certaintly isn't everyon'e cup of tea, but it's a great comic/movie, and it's a classic in the industry. You haven't heard of it not because it wasn't popular, but because, well, you just don't know your comicbook history.

It does read like a schoolbook sometimes. It's not really about "something epic" happening the way it happens in most superhero books. It's much deeper and quieter than that. It's certainly something I didn't appreciate until I was five years older.
