WatchmenOnce upon a time, back when it seemed that the world was entering World War 3, a group of masked vigilantes stepped up to defend it and save their people. The Watchmen, as they were known, were some of the greatest super heroes of all time. What was originally a comic book is now one of the most sought after franchises with t-shirts, books, collectibles and action figures flying off the shelves. Every year, these collectibles will become more and more valuable especially after the release of the Watchmen Movie on March 6.

And you can bet stores worldwide will run out of supply very quickly due to the high demand. But today, you can own some of the priceless Watchmen collectibles in mint condition. No matter if you are a hardcore collector or just a casual fan the Watchmen Shop has something for everyone. Browse our large selection of Watchmen memorabilia and find something you like today.

Watchmen Book Review

Feb 27th, 2009

With the Watchmen movie only days away from release the reviews of the original graphic novel are still coming out. Most of these are from people who have never even heard of the book before the movie was announced, but that doesn't make them any less important. I am always looking for quality, though out reviews to give me a fresh perspective on things. That is when I came across A Civil Conversation about Watchmen between Twig Collins and Dustin Rowles. It was very well done. Check it out.
