Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The grouping of heroes and villains contained in the work are not, in fact, named "The Watchmen", though they were at one point referred to as "Crimebusters". Rorschach, Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan were the team's primary heroes.
Personally, I adore Nite Owl! Dan is so adorable! I'm aware of the fact that he's a complete geek, but he is the most human character I've even seen in a comic book. Alan Moore did a beautiful job on his personality.
"The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout “Save us!”… …and I’ll look down and whisper, “No.” "

He's so great. I don't know exactly why, but I love his character...this is so in contrast with the fact that my absolute favourite comic book character is the Joker. =P I don't know I just something about his geekiness got to me. He's some how adorable.
I guess I liked Nite-Owl because he was the most "human" character out there. I understand why people would like Rorschach and I liked him too, but he wasn't my favourite. He was a very "Batman" type of character in terms of personality, which I liked, but still not my favourite. People think I'm crazy when I say that both the Comedian and Rorschach are my second favourite characters and Nite Owl is my favourite...would YOU think I'm insane for saying I actually liked the Comedian?
"gasps and yet you show your face on this site???"
Apparently...? I don't have unlimited resources of money and motivation to order all comics I read about, but this is one of the comics I plan on getting.
"I was joking just so you know ^^ I know you stick to your Legion as if its the only comic in the world, but you should try reading Watchmen sometime before the movie comes out"
LOL Legion's getting cancelled, and by the way it's not the only thing I read (fyi). Recently I've started to read a little of Green Lantern and I've been reading Spider-Man (Ultimate also) earlier...I don't talk about all comics I read...oh yeah and I'll see if I can order Watchmen anytime soon.

"wanderer, you should check the adventure comics thread in the dc universe boards, think you'll be happy"
Since I don't have anything more to say here (and it's getting off-topic <.<), I guess I could take a look...slowly backs out of thread!
