How much is the book at the cheapest and highest costs? Really want to read this. Friends tell me it's brutal. And I heard there was nudity in the film. What for? Dr. Manhatten. If it's just him, thats stupid since he is after all, CGI.

THere is nudity - aside from Dr M there's a love scene which (due to the accompanying music) is quite humorous.
No idea of the Stateside prices of your Trades - here you can now get a softback for about £9.99 or twice that for the recently re-released hardback. |

For the trade (for the sake of comparison):

It looks (roughly) like $10-$30, depending upon which version and condition.

Saw the movie on Saturday. Wow. Obviously, I love the book more, but this is probably one of the closest adaptations ever IMO. There was some stuff I wish they added(like Hollis Masons death scene)

The DVD of the comic is out now - I picked it up yesterday.
I'm surprised there aren't more of these comic DVDs. Marvel starting to do them a couple of years ago (I've got the Daredevil one) and I personally find them quite easy to get along with.
I got home yesterday and I've got thru most of 1st disc already. It's quite enjoyable and it's like reading a comic in a very lazy way (with great voices - they're very well done).
Again, Alan Moore is nowhere to be seen on the credits. It's as if he doesn't exist.
I dug my copy of Watchmen out the other day and (I'd forgotten) it's actually signed by Dave Gibbons - he must be really raking it in now. The array of merchandise that's available is impressive. Unusually for a film's merchandise (at least when there is so much of it), it's all actually very good (think how utter crap 90% of the rubbish that accompanied Superman Returns was). I'll stick to the figures and the various books (and obviously I've just got the DVD!), but it wasn't for the fact it all costs, and I've nowhere left to put anything - I could easily and gladly end up with all of it.
As I mentioned in last post, the figures are great too, I also picked up the first of the variants; an unmasked Comedian. There's still an unmasked Rorschach and a transparent Doc Manhattan to come to complete the set.
Highly recommended. |

I'm a little past the middle of Watchmen. This has to be the best book ever written in the history of the world. Next for me: Dark Victory!
