Customer Reviews
First, let me say I’m not going to review the content, but the edition. Let’s face it, whatever can be said about Watchmen as a work has already been said. However, this new HC edition gets overlooked too often. Having owned several different versions over the years, this is by far my preferred. Granted, it’s hard to beat the Absolute Edition when it comes to extras and clarity of the artwork, but this new HC beats it at price point
and readability.
