WATCHMEN

Alright, so I guess I should have written this before I wrote about The Walking Dead but what are you gonna do. As you can tell we are big fans of Watchmen. Its not just a movie coming out March 6th 2009 (which everyone should see...I hope), but its also quite possibly the best piece of writing I've read. Ever. In the comic book medium, there is no comparison and in literature in general (yes, literature) it holds its own with the best of them. If you ever decide to read anything, listen to something, or watch a movie we've ever suggested, pick this. This is not only our opinion on this book but the opinion of many, as this book has received critical acclaim from every critic possible. I can't stress enough. Read the book.
Author - Alan Moore
Illustrator - Dave Gibbons

Enjoy.

So much has been said about Watchmen. Some call it the “Citizen Kane” of graphic novels. Others say the book is responsible for changing the face of modern comic books.

To date, Watchmen remains the only graphic novel to win a Hugo Award, and is also the only graphic novel to appear on Time Magazine’s 2005 list of “the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.”



Give it a Shot


Hello All,
I'm not usually one to push my personal preferences regarding reading material on others, however I am going to suggest this to you. Its not a fictional novel or a non-fictional novel covering some important aspect of life or event or anything of that nature. Its a comic book and its excellent. Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead. If you liked 28 Days Later or 28 Weeks Later (and if you haven't seen these movies I also suggest you watch those too), you'll like this book. Not following the typical "zombie story" structure (if there is one), this book deals more with how fucked up the situation truly is and how it can drive people to do things they wouldn't normally do. Its a really good read, and quick to get through each book (again, its a comic book so 1 book consists of about 25 - 28 pages).

Heres a quick Wikipedia blurb about the plot:
The Walking Dead is centered around a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky, his family, and a number of other survivors who have banded together in order to survive after the world is overrun with zombies. As the series progresses, the characters become more developed, and their personalities shift under the stress of a zombie apocalypse. Fighting growing despair — and occasionally each other — the group searches for a secure location which they can finally call home. The lives of these survivors will be changed forever.

Give it a shot.
