Reddit reviews Watchmen: International Edition

Watchmen was a miniseries by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons that was kind of a game changer. It was complex, intricate, and dark. It was a deconstruction of superheroes. In fact the characters of Watchmen are based of the Charlton Comics characters (that DC owned).

It was originally released as a 12 issue miniseries and you can get it easily as a hardcover or paperback like this one and there are some more niche versions as well. This is the main story and all you need.

Several years ago DC released Before Watchmen, prequel comics for the main characters. It's not necessary.

In 2009 a film adaptation was released, directed by Zach Snyder. It's pretty faithful (except for the ending) but the comic is still better (though the film is definitely one of the better superhero movies)

Kommt natürlich auch auf den Autor an.

Wenn du mal was gutes mit Superhelden ausprobieren willst, die Klassiker sind dies nicht umsonst:

• Watchmen von Alan Moore und Dave Gibbons
  
  
• Die Dark Knight Reihe von Frank Miller
  
  
• Natürlich Kick-Ass von Mark Millar und sehr empfehlenswert auch:
  
• Die X-Men-Reihe von Joss Whedon :)
  
  Würd sie auf englisch empfehlen, aber grad Watchmen kann da schon schwierig werden, ist halt keine Klo-Lektüre a la Lustiges Taschenbuch :D
  
  Edit: Formaten

Transmetropolitan: 10 parts of awesome cyberpunk by Warren Ellis

Maus: a stand alone emotional smackdown about the holocaust.

Preacher: 10 parts of religious Americana as a group of dark characters go on a literal quest to find God. (Very different to and IMO much better than the Amazon series)

The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil: 1 part, Simple but beautiful art that tells a deeply personal story of a man struggling with chaos in an ordered world.

Freakangels: Another Warren Ellis 10 parter, a slow burn story of young people with powers struggling through a devastated world.

Kingdom Come: A one part "what if" style DC comics story with eye popping art and heavy themes.

Watchmen: The first of the grim and gritty superhero stories and still one of the most relentlessly bleak. (Much better than the movie adaptation)

My bad, thought they were talking about this edition

Not sure what the difference is with the "international" edition

Can anyone tell the difference between The Watchmen Deluxe Edition and International Edition?

I'm looking to order one in the UK. I already know the Inernational Edition is more or less the same apart form the cover, but can anyone tell me what the deluxe edition offers and if it is worth the price?

Comic books are relatively inexpensive to how much you get out of them, comics or comic magazines are most of the time extremely expensive and shite.

Little as £15 for a fantastic book. If you like, following next payday, I can buy it for you. It really is great.
