    Basically Rob and his wife Maria discover Watchmen much to their disgust and horror.

      If it’s the classic Watchmen comic, there’s not a lot wrong with it aside from the unnecessary pirate interludes and a few parts of the ending sequence (not spoiling anything).

      The deceased Comedian is supposed to be seen as a horrible guy and that’s portrayed well. There’s a lot of political intrigue and philosophy that desires provoking thoughts as well, so it’s more of a mature read rather than pure shock value like a lot of fiction media nonsense these days.

        That’s coming from Maria: she’s a zombie saying an euphemism.

          I’m trying to wrap my mind around this. A euphemism for what? Is this a sort of Chewbacca situation? Like how Chewbacca roars and Han understands him? Like, is she a zombie and can only talk about brains, but he understands her? The comic doesn’t provide a lot of context clues in this regard😆

            It’s sort of a loose continuity where sometimes Maria moans and shambles and others she functions like a human.

            The truth is Maria is supposed to be a moaning and shambling but very friendly undead monster.
