catching up on my geekery
arne April 23rd, 2008Clearly this whole post-every-day thing isn’t working for me. Oh well. I’ll keep trying.
I have a confession to make to you, my geeky friends. Until this week, I had not read Alan Moore’s Watchmen. *hangs head in shame* I know. Somehow — and I’m not sure how this happened — I missed this classic of graphic novels. I am pleased to say that I have now corrected this error in my ways.
I bought a copy this weekend and spent the past two days reading it, and all I can say is Holy Freaking Crap. I read through it once and could hardly put it down. I need to go back and read it again, of course, but it was amazing. I can’t believe I’ve gone this long in my life without reading Watchmen. Wow…just, wow.
I’ve also got a couple of lovely internet videos to share, courtesy of my awesome friend Shermi:
Charlie the Unicorn
Charlie the Unicorn 2
Zero Wing Rhapsody
More later…

Ah! Ahhhhh!!! If I would have known that you had never read Watchmen, I would have thrust my own copy upon you! You know, it was the first comic book that I read. And I haven’t read many since. That one made me happy that I grabbed it. Wow. Great book. I’m glad you have found the way!

Yeah, I was pretty unlikely to admit it to anybody. I’m so glad I got it, though! Holy fucking shit, that’s an amazing book. I’m on my second reading already, paying lots of attention to the art and the background details that I missed the first time through.

[…] How awesome is it that this video appeared today, now that I’ve read Watchmen? […]
