Watchmen by Alan Moore
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I'm just plain bad at reading graphic novels (it's hard for me to see the text and the illustration at the same time), which hinders my enjoyment. I liked it all right, but I thought a lot of the parallelism was heavy-handed, and there are no likable characters. I like clarity and resolution in my fiction, so this just wasn't really for me.
On the pro- side: I'm told it's historically important as a comic book/graphic novel, and it did hold my attention. I wanted to know what would happen; but then when I did, I didn't care for what happened.
Also, preschoolers are pretty intrigued by books with naked blue guys in them.
