watchmen comic

finally read the watchmen comic
moore is a decent storyteller but needs a serious editor or something. a bunch of the comic is spent between flashbacks to 1950’s heros and some lame newsstand comic. the guy working at the newsstand gets about the same time as our main characters ffs!
the middle of the comic spends way too much time being a bad soap opera. and the girl learns that she was the child of a rapist! oh noes! spoilers! what a waste of time.
at least the end was pretty good. as for the movie, i have some hope for it if they drop all of that lame ass flashback/comic parallel.
not sure if i’ll read anymore of moore’s comics. v for vendetta had a similar 1st act great, 2nd act shit, 3rd act explosion ftw style. the 2nd act is so bad i almost stopped reading both series.
