'Watchmen' Set-to-Comic Comparisons


From iwatchstuff, Leave it to the clever folk at Maxim magazine to think of comparing the recently released Watchmen set pictures with corresponding images from the comic, revealing the startlingly attention to detail Zack Snyder has given to every subtle element. Next thing you know, those Maxim boys are going to deduce the 9 hottest pregnant women ever, or something funny about beer.

Besides the diner looking like something out of The Majestic, I really like what they're doing here.

No excuses Johnny, to stay in the fanboy club you have to get crackin' and read Watchmen for the first time. I'm jealous.
