Finally got to the ending of Watchmen and was pleasantly surprised by its conclusion.
The art is stunning and the panels went back to the dynamic, cinematic, and unique feel that makes Watchmen stand out. The ending was a bit predictable, but the visual aspects made up for it and contributed to a nice wrap-up of the story.

[Sunny · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first seven or eight pages of graphics... gorgeous, graphic, horrific artistic displays of destruction! Mayhem! Devastation!

Varying degrees of good and bad actions... the entire spectrum of human behavior represented in this here story. I'm quite tired of the format - these 408 pages were quite weightier and meatier than I thought they'd be. It took what felt like AGES to get through just a few pages sometimes. So much detail can be conveyed in this format without words.

This has been fun. I probably wouldn't read it again, simply because now I know how it ends. But, I'd highly recommend the series.

Wrapped up in a tight little bow, my rating for this instalment is in tandem with how I feel about Watchmen on the whole.
Tone was on point for this series. As I said earlier on another instalment, the panels and undercurrents within the plot set one emotion and then in those final pages a colour would change the overall perception of what I read. I enjoyed it.

Though the plot was little of note, and I was never surprised and everything I assumed was what came to pass. I wish it were more.

I am still unsure of how satisfied I am with this moral dilemma as a final... but I think I am going to go with it. Clever to say the least.

El cierre de esta historia me ha parecido bueno:

Desde el cómic que leía Bernard en el puesto de periódicos y el paradero del autor de dicho cómic, hasta el plan ejecutado por Veidt y los pocos intentos por detenerlo. Me gustó como al final cada pieza embonó.

La forma en que es contada la historia me hizo sentir que veía una película, los detalles como los recortes de periódico o entrevistas del final también me parecieron una de las mejores partes. Sin mencionar el detalle de la última página que en cada número iba cayendo la sangre hasta cubrir el reloj, haciendo referencia como a todo le llega su hora.

[Jesus Velasco · Rating 5 out of 5]

Watchmen #12, es un cierre poderoso y trágico que muestra las consecuencias de las acciones de Adrian Veidt. La narrativa comienza en medio de la devastación en Nueva York tras la llegada del monstruo, un símbolo de la locura y el sacrificio que Veidt ha traído para lograr la paz mundial. Dr. Manhattan, inicialmente entusiasmado por la incertidumbre, contrasta con la horrorosa reacción de Laurie, lo que establece el tono emocional de la historia.

Adrian revela su plan siniestro: un pulpo gigante que transmite imágenes aterradoras para unir al mundo contra un enemigo ficticio. A pesar de su éxito en evitar una guerra nuclear, la muerte de millones pesa sobre su conciencia. Su momento de triunfo, gritando "¡Lo logré!" mientras se presenta como un nuevo Ozymandias, es irónico y sombrío, resaltando la naturaleza ambigua de su victoria.

La narrativa se entrelaza con referencias culturales y religiosas, como el nombre de la banda "Krystalnacht," que recuerda la violencia de la Alemania nazi, lo que enfatiza la brutalidad de las decisiones de Veidt. La imagen de Dr. Manhattan caminando sobre el agua lo coloca en una esfera divina, reforzando su papel como un ser casi sobrenatural.

El final queda abierto, con Dan y Laurie listos para regresar a la lucha contra el crimen, mientras Rorschach, fiel a su principio de verdad, amenaza la nueva paz al enviar su diario. La última imagen, el icónico smiley manchado de rojo, sugiere que la paz es frágil y que los conflictos humanos volverán a resurgir.

[Javier Lárraga · Rating 5 out of 5]

Este último número termina de la manera mas impactante posible y con un dilema moral bastante fuerte.

Me pareció un excelente cierre a la novela gráfica y a las historias de los vigilantes.

Resumiendo todo lo que fue Watchmen; me quedo con la crítica política y el como construyeron un mundo y su política alrededor del tema de los heroes enmascarados y tambien me pareció muy bueno el contexto histórico en el que se desarrolla la historia.

Una lectura extremadamente recomendada porque los más jovenes podrán ver las desventuras de estos vigilantes retirados y disfrutar con los excelentemente construidos personajes y la gente que busca una historia más adulta con muchos matices y que quiere analizar las metáforas ocultas detras de este mundo ficticio tambien se sentiran satisfechos.

Creo que en general Alan Moore nos supo contar a traves de estos 12 números una muy buena historia de misterio y fantasía que tuvo sus puntos bajos en los números que eran enteramente de transición pero que en general pudo mantenerse gracias a su narrativa y la justificación y el trasfondo de los personajes. Le doy un 9 a la historia completa basandome en los criterios de ritmo, personajes, prosa y narrativa accesibles, duración y final.

What the hell is this shit? This is the ending?!
Two stars for the visuals.

[Eslem Ouederni · Rating 4 out of 5]

By finishing this, I guess I am confused.. I know that the ending was somehow satisfying.. but still. Is it a happy ending or a bad one ? Or is it a mix of the too? Honestly I can't say. I think I liked, it's different from what I am used to read (especially it being a comic). I liked the fact that our SuperHeroes have no super powers (except Jon of course) and that they all kind of failed when they were trying to unleash the mysteries behind everything... Also, big spoilers coming : is Adrian insane by killing those people? He is just this person who saves the world by sacrificing millions for a peaceful world? Should we blame him or praise him? I guess I know the answer.
3.75 for the whole book

Review del volumen 1 al 12.
Aprovecho que he acabado de leer todos los volúmenes y las 5 estrellas que le he dado a este porque todo lo que pasó aquí será inolvidable. El punto de partida de la historia fue algo que se podría tomar como sencillo, pero fue el detonante de algo mucho más grande. Fue una historia diferente porque estos "súper héroes" no tenían poderes mega geniales o impresionantes, sacando a Jon, pero tenían "poderes" mucho más cercanos como la valentía, la astucia, la inteligencia, la fortaleza. Estos poderes que puedes encontrar en lo cotidiano lo hacían más cercano. A su vez estos "héroes" eran muy humanos, se equivocaban y muchas de sus acciones podrían carecer de una explicación lógica, pero desde un explicación desde un punto de vista emocional eran entendibles. Tenían dudas existenciales y por ejemplo los volúmenes en que se mostraba la vida de Jon y lo que pensaba son muy filosóficos, Rorschar fue un personaje también muy complejo que al principio parecía un detective normal como los que vemos en películas o novelas policiacas, pero que también tiene un trasfondo que no me esperaba. Me atrevo a decir que Veidt fue el personaje que encontré más cercano al comportamiento de la mayoría de las personas, especialmente los que quieren hacer un gran cambio en el mundo. Estas dimensiones en los personajes logran que no sean planos (en todo el sentido de la palabra).
Hubo volúmenes mejores que otros, historias de personajes más interesantes que otras, pero esta variedad hace que sea bueno porque la perfección no siempre atrae, la imperfección permite un mejor análisis y un mayor interés. Si califico toda la historia en general sería 4.5. Otro aspecto importante en el sentido estético de la historia son los colores, es una historia muy sangrienta, pero la sangre nunca fue un color que resaltara. Por lo general era de morado pastel lo que hacía que se pudieran apreciar las viñetas porque si este tipo de escenas te molestan o incomodan pueden pasar un poco desapercibidas para la mente al punto que no escandalicen.

[Lilamedusa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an interesting ending. I like how the story treated Ozymandias, though, perhaps like Rorschach, I would have liked to see him punished. I just find it abhorrent when that kind of thinking is paraded as "superior" in any way, because I think it's mediocre, cowardly and simplistic. I don't think everyone in the comments agrees with me, but I do think the comic does.

I liked this last chapter, but...

I thought... I thought Laurie was the comedian's daughter from when Holly was raped. But I guess I thought wrong. In light of that information I don't think the rape thing wasn't all that well handled after all. It's one of those "adding dimension" things some men like to do to add depth to things they don't understand at all, because they always end up doing it poorly. Of course, there are some contexts in which it could make sense, ways in which this tory could be explored that would add nuance and would be interesting. I just think this isn't it.

It does make his insistence on the fact that he had raped her just "once" more relevant, in retrospect.

I enjoyed these comic books. I don't know what to do next. I've been told to avoid the movie, but I might watch it out of curiosity and to compare and then watch the show.

[REVIEW FOR THE SERIES...]

Watchmen (Vol. 1-12)

"Who watches the Watchmen?"

Watchmen was a very interesting read and I’m glad to have finally gotten around to it. While I really appreciated some aspected such as the gritty world and symbolic, satirical plot line, there were times when it really didn’t live up to the hype surrounding it, at least not in my opinion. When compared to V For Vendetta, one of Moore’s best in my opinion, it just didn’t cut it for me, nor strike me with anything really meaningful afterwards. This is going to be a really hard one to rate and review for me— but here it goes.

P.s. If haters wanna hate, please go hate elsewhere. ;)



"This Hugo Award-winning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin.

One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial best-seller, Watchmen has been studied on college campuses across the nation and is considered a gateway title, leading readers to other graphic novels such as V for Vendetta, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and The Sandman series." -Book Blurb



Because I’m reviewing the entire series, and want to avoid an overly long review as well as story spoilers, in this review I’m just going to cover a few things, some things that stood out, things I liked, things I didn’t etc.



In the beginning of Watchmen the readers are introduced to this dark world, an alternate history, and are initiated into the story through the mysterious and grim character of Rorschach, whom I instantly liked albeit his strange attitude and growingly apparent fact that he was lacking some amount of sanity. He operates outside the law, as superhero’s are outlawed by the government. The mystery was compelling enough, the world is very dark and interesting.



As the story goes on we are introduced to other ex-heroes like Nite Owl II, (who seemed ironically a parody of Batman), and Ozymandias, as well as heroes contracted by the government such as Doctor Manhattan (the only actually superhuman in the series), The Comedian and Silk Spectre II. While the characters were interesting at times, most notably Doctor Manhhattan and Rorschack, many of the others felt dull to me, like bland caricatures.



One aspect I disliked was the weird, and seemingly pointless romance between Silk Spectre II and Nite Owl II. It felt creepy and out of place, boring me and ultimately jarring me from the otherwise interesting plot. Why was it necessary to bog the plot down with their awkward affair, (including facts about his erectile dysfunction)? What was perhaps meant to flesh out the side characters, just ended up feeling like a lot of filler material. Bleh. It slowed the overall momentum for me.



Another irritant was the issue concerning the backstory of Silk Spectre I and The Comedian, and the flippant way her sexual assault/rape was dealt with. It felt only a cheap tactic used to give the readers a twist later on, which was obvious to me miles away, and ultimately felt an easy way to manipulate the reader and story. It did not have that effect on me. The matter was not handled very tastefully, in my opinion. Silk Spectre I’s response— or lack thereof—to the crime against her made the writing and overall story have a very misogynistic undertone, which continuously reared its head throughout the following issues.



That continuous feeling was highlighted and accentuated by the apparent uselessness of most of the female characters, who rarely if ever, contribute to the story in any meaningful way. Not to mention the fact that so few women were present at all, the story tiresome by their lack of contribution. One obvious exception being Silk Spectre II’s pleading with Doctor Manhattan on Earth’s behalf later on, even then he probably would have come to the decision on his own, given how his mind worked. So perhaps I’m reading between the lines here, but that’s how it struck me. It didn’t sit well, and I’m overly used to comics using women in the usual ways, to titillate as eye candy and fan service, serving no real purpose. I guess I expected more, too much, from something hailed as an innovative masterpiece.

Moving on.



There were things I did really like, though the story was bogged down with politics, propaganda and misogyny. I really like the satirical take of the golden age superhero story, the way the story makes you think about things in a different light, albeit a very pessimistic—dare I say—nihilistic light. I like the jaded hero perspective. The art was very fitting and did a good job setting the overall tone, even though it wasn’t as pleasing on the eye. It conveyed the general vibe of the plot really well.



I loved the fact that the series read more like a mystery noir novel that a traditional action comic book. I really enjoyed the characterizations of Rorschach and Doctor Manhattan the most. I LOVED Doctor Manhattan’s backstory. It was so epic and philosophical; those chapters really made me think. While Rorschach’s background was very sad, it was also a bit underwhelming, considering how much I loved his character. He made an excellent anti-hero.



Overall, I really enjoyed it, but could not say I loved it by any means. I appreciate what it means to the world and legacy of comic books and graphic novels, I think it changed the industry in many ways, not all for the better, but in many ways it was good. I liked how original it was. I like the philosophical mindset it gets you in. Some of the characters were so memorable, but the bad somewhat equals the good for me. There was a lot of filler material that felt tedious to read through, dragging the story out. As much as I enjoyed it, I also felt annoyed by it. I felt it was lacking in some pivotal areas, where it could have done more. Many of the characters were so unlikeable and dull, like cardboard cutouts. Seeing how much depth Rorschach and Doctor Manhattan had, I think all of the characters had that potential as well.



So I guess I’m in a love-hate thing with Watchmen, no matter which way I slice it, I can’t seem to pick a definite stance. I was pretty disappointed with the ending. I would recommend reading it, to appreciate the leaps Watchmen gave the genre of graphic novels, and for the interesting plot and setting, but in my opinion V for Vendetta was better in most regards.

Set in an alternate history where costumed heroes have helped shape society since the beginning of time, the controversial yet prolific costumed hero Edward Blake (more commonly known by his alias The Comedian) is found dead and the perpetrator is nowhere to be found. Unable to solve such a bizarre murder by conventional means, the masked vigilante Rorschach who once served as a costumed hero alongside Comedian and four others takes matters into his own bloodstained hands to track down a mysterious assassin that's taking out costumed heroes one by one. Conspiracies abound, political tensions are through the roof, the threat of WWIII is lurking just around the corner and the gritty and depressive atmosphere of a rotting New York City during the 1980's sets the scene for a grim dissection and criticism of classic superhero archetypes.

Watchmen redefines the term superhero. With the exception of Dr. Manhattan, none of them have any notable powers. The Comedian is merely a grotesque reflection of American society and all its shameless faults, as well as how misguided patriotism can be used to justify mindless violence and prejudice. Rorschach is a vigilante who throws around the words good and evil to justify his brute force and questionable methods of solving problems. Silk Spectre is a normal woman struggling between following her own path in life and forever remaining trapped in the shadow of her mother's legacy. Nite Owl almost feels like a comedic parody of Batman, poking fun at the fact that he's an awkward old nerd that loves owl-themed gadgets and dressing up in what is essentially a big Halloween costume. Dr. Manhattan is the embodiment of how power, knowledge, wealth and limitless freedom to do anything imaginable can alienate and dehumanize a person from the rest of the world. All of the superheroes are extremely flawed everyday people with everyday issues and imperfections who hide behind masked personas to cope with the questionable acts they're performing and the faulty morals behind them.

The heroes of this tale defy the image of flawless paragons of justice that can do no wrong. They are just as capable of being selfish, abusing their powers and doing evil things out of spite and unchecked negative emotions as everyone else. This critiques the very idea of putting idols on a pedestal in the first place. This can be compared to the famous actors, pop stars and politicians of today. It's easy for people to treat the words and actions of their idols like the words of God himself, forgetting that they're ordinary people with many imperfections just like everyone else. Again, most of the Watchmen have selfish reasons for hiding behind their costumed personas, because they feel powerless, guilty and ordinary without them. What does it say about who you are when you can't even show yourself in public without hiding behind a carefully crafted disguise? Why wear a mask if you're in the right and have nothing to hide?

All of this deception and abuse of authority is where the popular slogan (Who watches the Watchmen?) comes from. The people in power are constantly watching and judging the actions of the average person, but who are watching and judging the actions of the people in power? The people in power punish us for our wrongdoings but who punishes the people in power for theirs? Dismantling the infallible images that figures of authority try to maintain, dissecting issues of confused morals and identities hiding behind literal and figurative masks, tearing the veil from the one-dimensional definition of superheroes, all of these things are masterfully challenged in the shape of a dark psychological crime-thriller with many timeless themes that go harsh on politics and society.

Our heroes and leaders are never the flawless, perfect beings we romanticize them to be.

Упркос одређеним (ситним) неиспегланим парчићима и чињеници да аутор текста овог стрипа има потпуно супротне животне ставове од мене (дакле, погрешне), морам признати да сам врло задовољан овим стрипом. Наравно, све то је врло тешко описати без мамутских спојлера, али рецимо да се Роршаху издешавало свашта лоше, али да је без обзира на то успио у својој намјери захваљујући једном потезу који је направио још прије неколико епизода. А тада уопште није знао која ће му намјера бити на крају ове епизоде! Фасцинантно! Остали ликови су се испоставили као обичне бесмислене будале о којима не вриједи трошити ријечи. Иначе, морална дилема која се појавила на крају ове посљедње епизоде није сасвим не-налик на ону из филма Гоне Бабз Гоне (не побркати га са Гоне Гирл), само наравно на мнооооого широј скали јербо се овде ради о будућности цијеле планете, и да сам врло задовољан поступцима главних јунака (у овом случају, је ли, Роршаха, а тамо Кејсија Афлека), без обзира шта о томе мислили сами аутори стрипа/филма.

Ова посљедња епизода је можда и најбоља. Апокалиптичност која је пријетила од самог почетка стрипа није се баш у потпуности реализовала, али ипак се десило нешто што може донекле да задовољи нас крвожедне фанове смрти и разарања и уништења. Ту је и једна кратка али врло симпатична зезалица са побатаљеним протоком времена која је (вјерујем) инспирисала ауторе серије Црвени Патуљак за њихову можда и најбољу епизоду, Future Echoes.

И на крају ћу да споменем да нисам баш велики обожавалац начина на који је овај стрип обојен. Све је некако у топлим бојама, скоро из сваке слике на све стране цуре жута и црвена, врло је мало неког, како бих рекао, контраста или нечег сличног. Ствар укуса, претпостављам.

[Simbasible Comics · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Stronger Loving World is the twelfth and final issue in the twelve-issue series Watchmen, written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons.

This issue features a somewhat anti-climactic, rushed conclusion, but a moral conundrum that made for very emotionally investing, complex storytelling. Veidt releases lab creatures that end up killing many people in the city, but under that false alien pretense humanity is united, including all the superpowers in the world. He’s an intriguing, realistic villain that was well contrasted with other characters and his similarities with Dr. Manhattan are well explored here.

Rorschach is against this plan, so he plans to stop it, which results in Manhattan obliterating him. This death was unexpected and truly shocking, especially for how it happened so quickly. It made sense for these two to clash like this and it was a fitting farewell to one of the series’ most unforgettable characters.

There isn’t a supplement at the end of this issue and it ends somewhat disappointingly with the last couple of panels leaving a lot to be desired in terms of memorable imagery, but the beginning with those huge panels of the creature destroying the city and killing people was strikingly dark and gruesome. The illustration work is gorgeous, but the dialogue is excellent and, although somewhat anti-climactic, how everything concluded was grounded in reality and quite sophisticated.

A Stronger Loving World ended the Watchmen series with a bang. It is a flawed issue, but one that features some very memorable panels, an unforgettable moral conundrum at its core and one truly heartbreaking sequence that was shocking to witness.

[Roshnara Mohamed · Rating 5 out of 5]

The ultimate moral dilemma - destroy a few to save many. Would you do it? Why/why not? Moore closes this epic tale of flawed, human superhumans by posing one of philosophy's oldest questions, and leaving us to decide whether the decisions made were "good" or not.
The artwork is consistently amazing, and adds so much to the narrative. The superheroes are flawed, imperfect and relatable. The story is predictable, yes, but no less gripping or enjoyable as a result.
All in all, a neat conclusion to the story, and a good launchpad for many deep conversations.
I don't know if I'd read it again anytime soon, but I definitely will revisit the series to remind myself that everyone is, at the bottom of it all, human.

جهانی بس قوی‌تر، جهانی بس مهربان‌تر برای مردن خواهد بود.
یکی از بهترین کمیک‌ها و آثار ابدی تاریخ که توسط آلن مور افسانه‌ای نویسنده نابغه انگلیسی در دوران جنگ سرد بین ابرقدرت‌های دنیا نوشته شده.

داستان کمیک واچمن (Watchmen) ماجرای قهرمانان سابقی است که حالا یا بازنشسته شده‌اند، یا برای دولت ایالات متحده آمریکا کار می‌کنند یا از قانون گریزان‌اند. در ظاهر هیچ کدامشان در متن دوران تاریکی که در آن زندگی می‌کنند و هر لحظه احتمال وقوع یک جنگ اتمی بین قدرت‌های دنیا وجود دارد قرار ندارند اما در واقع آن‌ها بزرگ‌ترین عامل جلوگیری از این جنگ هستند… یا شاید بهتر باشد بگوییم آن‌ها بزرگ‌ترین عامل بروز یک جنگ دیگراند.

روایت واچمن یک روایت جانانه‌ست، تو تک‌تک پنل‌های این اثر می‌شد نبوغ رو حس کرد. این در کنار پایان وحشتناک عالی این اثر همه و همه عواملی هست که میگم حتماً واچمن بخونید. فوق‌العاده‌ست.

Themes balanced well and really leaves you room to fill in motivations and thoughts and philosophies without being in your face. But at the same time... it’s still very in your face. The art is good. The story is great. The many strands of narrative are flawlessly woven together thematically as well as structurally. I loved it. It’s very very good. The characters are fleshed out. The relationships well developed. 4 thumbs up.

Me tomó más de un año siquier terminar esta historia. Definitviamente no era para mí y no le encontré nada de interesante o fascinante o incluso revolucionario para la época en que salió. Al menos lo intenté y no la dejé botada.
