The Watchmen

Pretty interesting read from a narrative standpoint. Question that drives the narrative - is someone knocking off Super heroes or is it just a series of coincidences gives the story a cool philosophical conundrum. Love the Rorschach character. Inserts aren't very interesting, disrupt the narrative, and were burdensome. Ensemble vs. protagonist works okay. Ending sucks. Cross cutting/non-linearity felt like post modern hipster crap young literature profs would get excited about in the early 1990s.

If this is the best GN have got - well, I can see why the audience is fairly small.
