    It’s an incredible work.

    A heads up though. A lot of what’s in The Watchmen was original, genre breaking, and changed the way comics are thought about as well as written.

    Which means that someone coming across it now can end up being disappointed in how ununique it feels. A lot of what makes it great was copied by other writers afterwards, so when you run across a trope, be aware that there’s a good chance the trope started there.
