SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

If you have not read Watchmen, be warned that – as this site delves into the symbolism, use of foreshadowing, and meaning of the book – spoilers abound. In fact, the annotation for the very first page, as included here, reveals the identity of who murdered Edward Blake. This site is meant to enrich one’s reading experience of Watchmen, but I would certainly not wish to spoil that for anyone.

Thank you,
chris

"One reason it might be nice for critics to take a look back at the original book [Watchmen] right now is that despite claims to the contrary, these new works [Before Watchmen] will for most audiences have some sort of impact on the original -- if only by providing narrative detail on story events from the original whose power derives in part from their ambiguity, a filling-in-the-blanks that will be hard to shake."
