Watchmen is the last comic with capes book I read. In the early to mid-eighties I read them voraciously and uncritically Marvel, DC, Charlton everything. A friend of mines older brother (the same guy who made me listen to The Jesus and Mary Chains Black and White, ruining pop music for me) said "hey Jake you like comics right?". We loaned me his Watchman I read it that night if I remember right (the 80's were what 15 - 20 years ago?). I read it and promptly lost interest in comics books. Poof gone. I don't know if I should be grateful.

In the 90's I did my bit in the indie confessional b/w comics scene and a draw a comic today but superheroes meh.

Read it again with us? :)

Yeah sure, but what if it puts me off reading completely?

You'd have to be very near the ledge in the first place, I think.
