Watchmen

Alan Moore's graphic novel that is often hailed as the one that started it all. It was quite good and really changed my mind about what exactly a graphic novel could be. I'm used to bloody gory violent quick little stories that while admittedly are very fun to read don't have any sort of real message to them. "Watchmen" was different. There was a lot of plot to keep track of and a lot of really well written and interesting characters.
