Watchmen Part II Hits THE SPLASH PAGE

The Splash Page is a little late this week, but if you're interested in the second, and final, part of our discussion with Justin Dickinson about Watchmen, it's now posted for your reading pleasure.

Chad and I have plenty to say about the book, and Justin brought some insight and a fresh perspective as a new reader. It's good stuff, and it's probably the last you'll ever hear about Watchmen from anyone on the internet. I can't imagine anyone talking about it at all over the next year or so, can you?

So, enjoy it while it lasts -- a rare discussion of an obscure little graphic novel: Watchmen, now available on the internet's hottest arena for smarty-pants chit-chat: The Splash Page.

Or, as always, click away: HERE.

Watchmen Hits THE SPLASH PAGE

Yes, I'm in Watchmen mode, but who isn't? Everyone's thinking about this thing these days. So when I found out that one of my former students--one who has never really read comics--finally read Watchmen last week, well I had to take advantage of that.

So Chad Nevett and I invited him to The Splash Page, where we could taunt him about his foolish ignorance about comic book tropes and traditions and school him in the ways of Alan Moore.

But Justin Dickinson held his own against the geek onslaught, and offered a fresh perspective on a graphic novel that is so ingrained in us that we can barely remember life before Watchmen.

Join us as we discuss morality and superheroics and everything in between in the newest installment of Alan Moore's favorite internet chat-piece: The Splash Page.
