comic books

so anyone into em?

What books?

Comic whats?

ya know lets say Marvel, Dc. super hero stuff, what about the Luna Brothers anyone like them?

watchmen?

one comic I thought I'd never see

Nope. No one.


(Real answer: Yes, but I'm not buying any right now. Money and time.)

You certainly won't find any comics fans here.

No, I'll wait for the movie! I never really did get into comics.

Odd, Because I'm a total nerd.

You might want to check out these guys also!

Yeah, same here. Probably because there isn't really anywhere around here to buy comics. I've gotten into them more lately but only because I can buy the full books online now. It's still about a 45 minute drive to anyplace that sells more than a token selection of comics.

It is truly a shame that few people will ever know the greatness of this work.

I'm sure a lot of people will read it when the movie comes out.

Oh, it's already started. You couldn't go into a comic shop at this year's Comic-Con without hearing someone being told, "I'm sorry, we're all out of Watchmen."

i love it so much i tattooed it on my body

They will have already gotten someone else's perspective on the storyline from the film. They should read it beforehand.

As much as it would be fun to say, eruditely, I read this 10+ years ago; I won't complain if people do see the movie and then read the book. At least they progressed, regressed, whatever to the written page. I'm all for people being forced to question for themselves what is right or wrong, despite the path things took to get to that point. The movie may end up just as psychologically thrilling as the book; I doubt it, but hey, I still cry every time I watch V For Vendetta. So, perhaps...

i'm in the middle of reading it right now.

i've literally thrown furniture out to make way in my apartment for boxes of comics.

so, yes.

So what?

If anything, it's a book that'll ruin the subsequent movie. I saw Cider House Rules, loved it, then read it, and loved it, and now I find the movie virtually unwatchable.
