It was my first introduction into graphic novels and nothing else has come close to it. The art, the story arc, the characters, all great. I have my doubts though that the movie will live up to the awesomeness that is the book. Doug I hope you’ll put up a post when you’re done to let us know if you liked it or not.

Shane is right, the ending perfectly closes the story loop and completes the journey for all the characters. If the ending goes all the way back to the newsroom of the Frontiersman (?) magazine, then that would be even more awesome. I envy you, Doug for seeing the whole book for the first time. It took me 2-3 readings to get the full impact of the story. And the use of other materials in between the chapters is one of the best instances of background information adding depth to the story that I have ever seen. Speaking of which, I wonder if they plan to use the Black Pirate Comic in the movie? This movie requires close scrutiny... ps Would Mr. Snyder be interested in bringing Frank Miller's RONIN to film? We can only hope! Glad to hear the ending will stay the same!

So by what Hazmat was saying, it qualifies as a "book" not a "comic". And yeah, the ending should not be changed. Not one bit. The ending is what ties together the entire thing, and to change it is to change the purpose and direction of everything that lead to it.

It's a novel, with pictures instead of words describing the clothes faces and locations. So, it's a... "BOOK". Um, Watchmen isn’t a comic like spider man…
