Watchmen is an American graphic novel limited series published by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987, and collected in 1987. The series was created by a British collaboration consisting of writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. Watchmen originated from a story proposal Moore submitted to DC featuring superhero characters that the company had acquired from Charlton Comics. As Moore's proposed story would have left many of the characters unusable for future stories, managing editor Dick Giordano convinced Moore to create original characters instead.

ROB teaching life lessons through comics I like it 💯

[@Eudaimonia239]

and that is the reason why watchmen is considered a masterpiece , is a story that even today you can still read it and find something you didnt noticed the first time you read it , to a point that many people have misinterpreted the message moore intended with this story ( the movie itself changed the entire point and message of the novel, the supposed heroes in it are not supposed to be celebrated, they are a tragedy in itself, an autocritique, you shouldnt be rooting for them, you should feel horrified by their actions, this are people who you SHOULDNT want or trust as your protectors, but yet you hear some fans claim is accurate) , its not just a critique to the superheroe genre, and you can tell the consequences of that misinterpretation affecting the comic book industry to this day: lets make all dark and gritty just because it looks cool, just for the sake of it.

The Yellow $ was kinda awesome. It's pretty much a sensor bar anyway.

Never read a single comic in my life except watchmen. I remember that a friend of mine gave it to me and he was one of the people whose opinion I really trusted when it came to books and media. At the time, I was really into classic literature, books like gravity's rainbow and in search of lost time etc. In my opinion, watchmen stacks up right next to those books as a landmark in the media.

The echo makes Rob sounds like an all powerful entity.

Phukkin WOW Rob!! This video was amazing!!! Really putting your intelligence on display in this one!!! I had no idea you could extract this kind of conceptual depth and breadth from any comic book character. You just put out a bunch of viewpoints and didn't own any of them even though I am willing to take a guess as to your belief system. You should run for office!!! Thanks Rob. I never miss a video. Keep em' Comin'.

Like Rorschach said, ”God doesn’t make the world this way, we do.”

If a blue woman wanted to work in the other room while she had split into multiple clones with the sole purpose of pleasing me I'd have no complaints.

This might be the most spiritual episode of ComicsExplained I have ever seen... Hopefully it does not get demonetized.

Came here for The Origin of Dr Manhattan. Left not knowing why I am.

[@justindixon5999]

I am still a big fan of your old channel Rob explains where you go depth into real world things. I love to hear your point of view of the world because we have very similarly view points of the world.

Favorite past of the whole comic is Manhattan’s self reflection. Love the way he jumps from date to date to explain everything how he sees time.

[@55chevy327]

One of the deepest videos I have seen on KZbin regardless of genre. Good job.

[@dj-d2030]

I came for a story, not an existential crisis

[@Sickly_Cake]

I love how in depth your analysis of all of these characters are. Well thought out and researched! Your work has always been on a level of both philosophy and fun❤
