In a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the U.S. won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president and the Cold War is in full effect. WATCHMEN begins as a murder mystery but soon unfolds into a planet-altering conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, the unlikely group of reunited heroes—Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias—must test the limits of their convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good and evil. Collects #1-12. From Alan Moore, the award-winning writer of V FOR VENDETTA and BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE and Dave Gibbons, the artist of GREEN LANTERN, the WATCHMEN COLLECTOR’S EDITION is DC Comics’ first-ever slipcase collection featuring the entire 12 issue series reproduced as oversized, single-issue hardcovers and utilizes the high-quality, recolored pages found in WATCHMEN: THE ABSOLUTE EDITION Review: Amazing and beautiful - One of the best watchmen set that you can get. Review: I LOVED IT. This New Format Sells the Classic Alone - Best Collected Watchmen Yet - This format, 12 slim hardcovers in a slip-case, beats Absolute Watchmen. Like the same format on the new edition of The Dark Knight Returns, it flat-out rocks for readability. More DC, more. I also recommend Absolute Batman Year One, with its two paper styles: one pulp; one glossy. Ignore the detractors, please. For the few who seem to have enjoyed this format, one of a few experiemental formats DC has engaged in, thank you for chiming in. The anger over the oft-noted minor changes is unsettling - an outrage oft-reserved for so many of the world's grand tragedies. Moore and Watchmen - will survive; that is what matters... they are big enough for some experimental book design. I highly doubt Mr. Moor or Mr. Gibbons weeps over this matter. (Extras - one could even complain about their presence, that they rob the 'magic,' but so few do.) Ah well, I mean no enmity to those who so shrilly despise this tinkering - those slim bindings of each book, well, it's so pleasant. Peace to all!

Beautiful Box-Set
I love everything box-set and the Watchmen series is a classic favorite of mine, so I was pretty excited to get this copy. Great box set, the design work on the covers and box are absolutely breathtaking. The Doomsday clock on the back of each book turns as you progress in book number and the blood on the back kinda drips down. Just a gorgeous set overall and of course the comic itself is great.

I like the original design more
When I preordered this, it had a much different look that I like better. Other than that, it's a great product. I'm just not sure why they changed the look so much.

Just the story in the best way
Full sized like the OG comics, with the rescanned art on nice thick paper mmmm it doesn't have any of the extras included with the Deluxe and Absolute editions but who needs 'em, that's what the library is for.

Heavy sturdy collectible
This story is pretty heavy with text, thats why is so good to have the individual issues instead everything in one volume. A pity that arrived a bit damaged and dirty.

Excelente estado y precio
Tenía miedo que llegara la caja dañada por algunas reseñas que leí, pero decidí arriesgarme comprándolo por dos razones: 1. el diseño de la caja en realidad no está tan bonito, me importaba más tener las ediciones individuales pasta dura. 2. El precio estaba a un tercio del precio de lista (en cuanto hice el pedido en el catálogo ya estaba a más del doble de precio de lo que me costó). El paquete llegó nuevo en excelentes condiciones, la caja intacta, todo sellado en plástico. Cada número tiene la portada individual, pasta dura, preciosa versión. Está en inglés. No tiene ningún extra. Comprado de y enviado por Amazon México. Súper precio de $800 m.n. Estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra. Nunca he leído Watchmen y estaba buscando una buena edición para comenzar mi colección. Resultó un poco incómodo para mí leer cada issue en esta edición pues tiene muy poquitas páginas para ser pasta dura y está algo grande (30 cm de alto). Pero es preferencia persona, quizá a ti te encante esta forma de leer comics. Sin quejas realmente, solo el comentario.
