You've all read Watchmen right?.....RIGHT?

In my humble opinion, Before Watchmen is a mixed bag. Some of it is good. A tiny amount of it is really good, but most of it is below average.

I think the trend of taking these very familiar portraits of superheroes and making them darker, more complex, maybe more political were all influenced by Watchmen because it was different, it was sharp, it was exciting, and it was and still is really good.
