What's Next after Watchmen? This is....
Many people who are knew to comics get introduced to Watchmen first. Which is a good place to start because it has characters that people grow to love. Brad Meltzer takes a simliar tone in realistic emotions wrapped in a world of Super-Heroes.
The main focus of this story is not Super-Heroes, but instead relationships. Relationships between friends, family, lovers and enemies. This is also a story about death... may kinds of deaths.
If you ever wanted to know what to suggest a friend who just picked up Watchmen and liked it, I think this book is the next local step to branding them DC. Heck this book even comes with a Rape Scene like Watchmen.
I personally was not floored by the interior art, but Michael Turner's covers kept me in the book.
Cheers!
