Question The Watchmen

I just wanted to ask all you losties out there, has anyone read this book? I was looking at my local comic book store and am debating whether or not to buy it. I know there are several correlations between LOST and THE WATCHMEN. Is it a good read? Did you like it? I appreciate any input any of my friends here @ tts could provide.

Thanks in advance

Haven't read it myself but I've heard good things about it. There have been a few connection's between "The Watchmen" and "Lost" posted on the boards.

Alan Moore's 'Watchmen'?

Other than intersecting plotlines and a time traveler, not much for correlations.

But a DARN good book -- can't remember his name but the 300 director (also did Dawn of the Dead) is currently signed on to do Watchmen as a movie.

I heard about the movie coming soon... Zack Snyder is directing, they are to start filming sometime this summer....

Yeah I read alot of good things online about the book, even Damon Lindelof has said â??The Watchmen is the greatest piece of popular fiction ever produced.â?

So I went out and bought it during my lunch hour... lucky for me there is a comic book store near by...

Thanks alot MD & Gartism for your input...
