i can't deny THE WATCHMEN buzz...

so much buzz around the watchmen, and why not? you take probably one of the best graphic novels of all time and combine it with today's special fx, and you've got a pretty surefire recipe for epicness.
there is much more spotlight due to alan moore than the already bright one he's got on him. if you've never heard of the watchmen before the slew of publicity for the movie hit, then odds are you have no idea that The Watchmen is the only graphic novel to have ever won the Hugo Award.
but yes, take one look at this guy. you KNOW he writes good fucking stories.

io9 has also provided a great list of other that one should read (some of these have already been made into movies, which, moore apparently hates).
all in all, this guy is a fucking genius. i hold The Watchmen very dearly to my heart... we'll just see if the film measure's up an already perfect thing.
