I think I have become a comic book fan. I mean I've always appreciated the standard classics like Superman and Spiderman. Then I saw Watchmen this past weekend and really liked it (despite some of the unfavorable reviews I've read online). The film is based on the Watchmen collection created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins which was originally published by DC Comics during 1986 and 1987. I flipped through the book before going to see the film which made like the movie even more - I was able to see those amazing drawings come to life. Visually, the film was awesome. As for plot, the storyline really humanized superheroes in a new way for me. Check out the trailer:
