I am not about to present a plot summary or formal review in any sense.  If you are looking for such, then I would advise you read the elaborate review from my fellow writer, Jake Cole.  However, if you are looking for an analysis of the graphic novel, then I encourage you to read further – the meaning behind Watchmen runs deep, so missing little odds and ends is to be expected.  I will occasionally include commentary during the analysis.

This analysis only begins to deal with the complexities of certain issues and layout.  If I wanted to explain everything that was on my mind, I’d be writing a book.  Here’s hoping this will be enough to fill your appetite.

**Spoilers abound**
