Have to disagree a little. I think Alan Moore is overated. Everyone gushes over The Watchmen and V for some reason. Granted they are good, but not the be-all end all of grfaphic novels. IMHO nothing will ever come close the Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. That truly changed comics forver. Top of the heep if you ask me...

I'll see V when it comes out on DVD, but not in the theater.

Pick up Marvel 1602 if you get a chance. A fantastic re-imagining of the Marvel Universe, starting in 1602.

I would have loved to see Dark Knight on screen, with Clint Eastwood playing the aging Batman. Miller's Batman really came across as very Dirty Harry-ish
