Watchmen

This was the first graphic novel that I've read, and I do agree with the article that is was "wearing" to read, because you must pay such close attention to the text and the pictures. There is so much symbolism references that this graphic novel must be read two or three times to pick up on all of them. I'm still not a huge fan of graphic novels, I perform normal novels, however, it was interesting to read something so different for a change.

I agree with you and it is because of this reason that I may have to change my wishes of reading further pieces like this in the future. You are right, you have to pay such close attention to detail that it can very well become all too complicated, it may take the excitement out of reading a "comic book".
