Read These

I was never a fan of comics, maybe because I always felt that they had hardly any appreciation value except for brainless action. And even if i wanted brainless action I'd rather rent Schwazzie's movies.

All I can say is that Allan Moore revolutionized graphic novelization.

It's a case of where "a picture speaks a thousand words" vs. "'actions speak louder than words".

Watchmen is by far one of the most disturbing material I have ever come across. Even Sylvia Plath, in all her grotesque glory (which, some pple btw think its so cool) fails to disturb me as much as Allan did. Not to say that you should read it to disturb yourself; It is so because it sort of forces you to view certain issues in extremes, and decide the direction of your whirring moral compass after you're finished with it.

Not your usual Batman/X Men material.

All in all, it's a fantastic read and a cult classic. If you like thought invoking pieces, do give this one a try!
