Extra Issues - Watchmen
Added 2022-10-08 21:49:18 +0000 UTCZack and Charlotte (aka Rors-Zach and Dr. Transhattan) kick off our first miniseries on Superhero Subversions with a discussion of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen.
Topics discussed:
- Is Watchmen really as good as its legacy suggests (yes, it is), or is it just nerds overvaluing a metatextual work (no, it isn't)?
- Is a personal sense of overwhelming anxiety and despair necessary to appreciate this comic?
- How many ways can the 9 panel grid be utilized in one comic?!
Upcoming episodes in our Superhero Subversion miniseries:
- Planetary, 1999
- Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, 2019
- The Boys, 2006
- Miracleman, 1982
- Listeners' Choice, TBA
