An Analysis of Watchmen: Symmetry and the Tragic Flaw
August 17th, 2008 -- mini-url

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**
