Who will watch the watchmen?

My boyfriend is a comic book nerd. It's true. And he loves to talk about them. A lot. Constantly. But instead of fighting what is an inevitable reality, I decided to indulge him and asked him to recommend some for me to read. That is how I found myself, a few months ago, poring over "The Watchmen," considered one of the greatest graphic novels ever, as well as an important piece of fiction. Filming of the movie is underway, with Zack Snyder of "300" at the helm, so even if you've never heard of the book or the movie, you will soon. Rest assured the hype will be strong. But don't roll your eyes and walk away. Pick up a copy of the book and prepare to nerd out just like your boyfriend.
