Watchmen Stuff

Watchmen was a comic book series in the 80s that’s widely regarded as the greatest graphic novel of all time and often appears on lists of the great novels of the 20th century. Zack Snyder is directing a movie coming out next spring, which is getting great buzz. Some links:

  1. The trailer released last week.
  2. A writeup of the Comic-Con panel.
  3. A set of six teaser posters.
  4. The original house ads for the comic on which the posters are based.
  5. The book on Amazon.
  6. An interview with author Alan Moore who, unsurprisingly, isn’t a fan of Warner Bros. making a movie of his work.
