in the meantime, be WATCHing...
We'll finish viewing American Splendor next week, so there is no official reading assignment. However, if you'd like to get a head-start for the following week, go ahead and start Watchmen, which usually runs neck-and-neck with Neil Gaiman's series Sandman as the most critically-acclaimed work amongst superhero comics. There will be a lot to digest and discuss, so feel free to get that early start.

For me Watchmen is a blue print for the direction that superhero comics should have gone in the late eighties and up through the nineties. Unfortunately that did was not the case but Alan Moore kept has to be one of the most prolific writers to have ever delved in this genre of comics.
Now almost twenty years old this comic is truly a timeless classic and not many comics can say the same. Alan Moore creates a three dimensional world where so few other superhero comic writers could have ever imagined. Today we have writers like Warren Ellis and Grant Morrison who do remarkable work in the superhero genre but I feel they fall second to the ingenious writings of Alan Moore.
