    Watchmen continues to be the best superhero comic ever written and one of the very few to recognize the inherent white supremacist reactionary ideology of superheroes. Its criticism still tracks nearly 40 years later. The ultimate fate of the superhero is becoming genocidal for convoluted, narcissistic reasons or to have godlike powers and do nothing.

      The perils of living in a serialized world where your story can never have an end.

      ...For the love of god, Marvel, stop resetting The Hulk every single time he gets his life back together!

      I'm more partial to Transmetropolitain, but I'll concede Watchmen on artistic merit.
