As someone who has seen the Watchmen movie already, it's very interesting to see the story told through a different medium like the original comic. I really enjoy the way that the comic is illustrated, it sets the tone of the story as dark and bleak. I was also very surprised with how well the story is told by using only pictures and captions. The transitions from setting to setting are smooth, and the book does not seem choppy at all. One thing I like more about the book than the movie is how you easy it is to find symbolism in the panels. There is often some sort of alternate meaning in the background of a picture that's not essential to the story, but can help further the readers understanding of the plot. So far, I've enjoyed reading the comics more than I did watching the movie. I can't wait to see how the rest of the story is told...
