It did stir alot of interest back to comic books as an alternative reading medium rather than just the same old superhero stuff. I agree though there's some great post Watchmen comics out there.

It's a good comic, though I didn't really see it as the genre-defining work it's sometimes built up as; I think that might be due to reading a lot of post-Watchmen stuff before it, so it didn't have the impact of being something totally different. As a result, I haven't been following the film development too religiously, but the trailer did look quite good, and just as development hell seemed to be over, we get a studio pissing contest...
