I have to make a confession.
I'm pretty new to the world of comic books, but have been voraciously devouring everything people pass my way, and since the beginning Watchmen and DKR have been mentioned over and over and over. So I read them.
And I wasn't blown away. Sorry.
I can see how they would have rocked everything at the time (like seeing Star Wars when it was first released) but now, like Star Wars, they're kinda, "Well, yeah, they're pretty good, I guess, but I've seen/read better."
Do you know what I mean? I hope this isn't heresy, but I just found them both a little bitty, jumpy, and not particularly cohesive as a whole. Although there were undoubted moments of genius in both.
