Book #37 in 2012
Watchmen
by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons
"This Hugo Award-winning
graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes
plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the
super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown
assassin.
One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, WATCHMEN has been studied on college campuses across the nation and is considered a gateway title, leading readers to other graphic novels such as V FOR VENDETTA, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and THE SANDMAN series."

Notes:
I do not like this book and I do not understand why it is such a big deal and so popular and apparently influential. This is not my type of book. I don't even know why I finished it, but there you go. At least now I am only 3 books behind.
