CGS Footnotes podcasts

In the lead-up to the 2009 film adaptation of Watchmen, the guys at Comic Geek Speak decided to tackle the original book through their "Footnotes" series, wherein they examine a comic series in-depth. These are the first episodes of CGS I ever listened to (I'm a regular listener now, and have been for some time), and it was these episodes - along with those from the Legion of Dudes - that spurred me to write, and helped inform, my own annotations of Watchmen.

Below are the sound files for each episode along with links to the bulletin board discussions that followed. And be forewarned, SPOILERS ABOUND!!!

Enjoy,
chris
