#August 13th: Watchmen
363 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I have a deluxe edition of the full original run of comics. Also included is the origianl movie (DVD), directors edition (Blue Ray) and the live action comic on dvd. Perfect combo for any fan.
Does this start at 6 or 7 est tonight?
7
Correct
I'm so ready for my first Trivia tuesday
TWO HOURS to showtime!
I did not re-read Watchmen but I will have my copy of the trade next to me. It might help.
i have a copy of v for vendetta… close enough
I'll just channel my inner Alan Moore: "Ugh I hate adaptions of my work"
i gave reading it a solid C- effort
That's more than I did! Congrats!
my bookmark was still on the same page from years ago..."possibly homosexual, must remember to investigate further"
i just skipped the entire page this time because it had already stopped me twice
Ouch. Yeah, I remember mostly liking it when I read it years ago. But I know I am confusing the movie and the comic together. I think everyone telling me to 'read it because it is so good' affected me a little when I finally read it.
already know ill answer a couple questions wrong due to the movie
I've been swamped the past week so I didn't get a chance to reread it much
I'll be happy with one or two points
Made it through 4 issues so we will see if that helps me 🤷♀️
<@&1261390862726991973> and all hopefuls -- WATCHMEN TRIVIA begins in 5 MINUTES!
IT BEGINS
