    The only Absolute --- Absolute

    Watchmen a book know all over the world.  It is a the graphic novel that is the standard of books to read on a Graphic Novel list.
     
    Pros:  It is the most famous graphic novel of All-Time.  It is a book you can be proud to display in Absolute size and is the only Absolute must have Absolute.  Dave Gibbon's art is fantastic in this size and with the bigger pages the massive layering of Watchmen can be seen with greater ease.   This version is also backed with extras.
     
    Cons:  It is expensive and some people find Absolutes hard to read.
     
    Verdict:  5/5.  It is the best way to read Watchmen and Watchmen will always surpass the movie, since it was written to be unfilmible.  They layering, the symbols, the mutli-path-plot can only be enjoyed at its best in comic form and the Absolute version is the best version one can own.

The story is basically about a vigilante that gets killed, leading to a series of investigations by Rorschach and having terrible consequences for the world.
