Description

Kevin and Will go over the first issue of legendary comic book series Watchmen. This is unrelated to the rest of this season, and just because the new HBO television series gives us an excuse to go over one of our favorite comic series of all time. We talk about Alan Moore's genius, Dave Gibbon's mastery, and what makes the finely turned watch that is Watchmen's world tick! We talk about the masterful FULLNESS of this world, the irony, the bleakness, the hilarious meanness! We get into problems with Alan Moore stories in general: the density, the dude-ness. We recorded this on Alan Moore's birthday and forgot to mention it!
