Josh Reviews the Animated Watchmen: Chapter Two!
As I wrote in my review of Watchmen: Chapter One — the first half of this two-part animated adaptation of Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons’ masterpiece from 1985-86 — I was dubious when I first read about this project. I love Watchmen and have read the original series
