Say, do you buy any good comics? Or do you just waste it on superhero crap.

ouch baby, very ouch.

seriously, there are many 'superhero' comics at the moment that are far better than any cool indie titles. Incredible Hulk, Captain Marvel and Powers for example are some of the best comics you can buy, and they are all critically acclaimed. the only 'indie' comic I bought this week was the latest issue of One Plus One from Oni Press, and it was average at best

Comic book hipsters. . . I never thought I'd see the day.

Nice art. Though I'm sure the stories suck. But I've always like comic book art.

I can tell you that I believe it's absolutely amazing. It's similar to Miller's "Batman" in terms of Reagan-vitriol and nuclear creeps, but Watchmen also has great flashbacks to the "innocent" days of the 50's, the Vietnam War/Travesty, and it addresses the issue of homophobia.

well it has already been answered but I'll give you my opinion anyway, Watchmen is one of the most amazing comic books you could ever read. I only first read the trade about a month ago, and it had me transfixed from start to finish. I'm about to read it for the second time. seriously, you should fork the $20 over for it, it is a hell of a lot better than some of the shit on the shelves right now
