I’m not a major comic book nerd, but the upcoming release of the Watchmen movie is getting my full geek on, and I want it now. I heard a reference to the motion comic available on itunes and I was wondering if any of the fans of the comic here can suggest if it’s worth the $20 for the season pass.

I downloaded the first episode and couldn’t get through it. But I’m very familiar with the original art; perhaps someone coming to it new wouldn’t feel the same.

But if you’re going to spend $20 on Watchmen, buy the fucking book. It’s aces. And even though it looks like this adaptation is going to be pretty good, it won’t be nearly as dense as the book.
