IMO, Watchmen is the best graphic novel - bar none. Nothing "ass-kissing" in this statement, either. I just reread it. If anything, it's even better than I remembered. The quality of the story, characterization, themes, symbolic density, and attention to detail are staggering. I don't understand how anyone could fail to be blown away when reading it - unless the only thing you go for in comic books is pure spectacle.

Not really. You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, but so is everyone else that disagrees with you (which I venture to say is a large majority of those who've read The Watchmen). I mean if you posted on a Russian novel forum and said that Crime and Punishment was overrated, you'd probably get hammered too. If you post something controversial, don't get pissy when people challenge you.

I'm not,it's that you make assumptions about peoples tastes if they don't agree with you.

i've never said people have poor taste just for liking something i hate.
he said just because someone doesn't like it they must only read comics for spectacle,but it could a whole host of reasons.I could just as easily say people always say how badass Roscharch is,so people who like watchmen only like badassery 😬
kinda stupid thing to say.
