Will this be a good run?

Not a bad start. Some people are expecting a lot from this title. Others are less convinced. I am not sure which camp I fell into. After the Oracle mini, I was open to suggestions. Anyway, I enjoyed it, but felt a little let down by Cassandra making an appearance that lasted one page. The art was good, not brilliant. The story could be pants. This might be one that comes to a close after a short run. Who knows.

Watchmen - The movie

I finally got around to watching Watchman and I have to say, 'awesome'. It got a lot of stick when it came out, fom both hardcore fans of the original graphic novel ('novel') and indeed those who were simply watching the film having never read the source material. I had intended to watch it when it was on at the cinema but various things prevented it, much to the jokes of my work colleagues 'uh, call yourself a comic fan?' etc etc. Anyway I found a suitable free period to watch it and I had my well read copy of the novel to hand – I wanted to compare and contrast. Now, I don't think that it was perfect, but then I didn't think the novel was either. But, overall, I loved it. I need to gather my thoughts and probably watch it again, so that I can do a full review. Should be done within a few weeks.
