Never read Watchmen before...

I know nothing about the particulars of the story, so should I read it before or after the movie?

I'll do the opposite of someone else to see if it makes any difference.

Might be an interesting experiment.

That's a hard question to answer... I've read it a few times now and the last time was about 2 weeks ago. I think eventually you should read it as it is one of my favourite stories and one that still gets me every time I read it even tho I know the story.

But on the other side of things I saw LoEG before I read the book which I really enjoyed the movie and then saw the differences that what people were saying about how they didn't like it.

Maybe the better way is finding out if you can afford the TPB/HC before the movie comes out hehehe
