In reading Alan Moore's "Watchmen", I come to the conclusion that no matter how controversial this book may be in particular groups I believe this is a remarkable collection of literature. From the beginning to the end, components of Fretag's Triangle are visible.
Beginning with the introduction of characters, such as the heroes, a newspaper salesman, the police, etc. All of which play a key role in this story's layout.
The next component made available is that of a series of initial conflicts. minor conflicts between the heroes within the Crime Busters group. Conflicts between main characters and themselves. Conflicts between who they were and who they are. Conflicts between U.S.A. and the REDs.
And as if it was not enough for all this to happen. Then the one major component of U.S. Defense Plans got up and left. Knowing this the REDs began to progress with their threats. This sends everyone into a chaotic blitz of sorts. Which does nothing but create more and more crime. However, crime fighting has been outlawed. A few old school masked heroes through back on their suits as the reversal begins and by the time the climax is here, we've already found out that everything from the Defense weapon's leaving to the murder of the Comedian and various other things are all caused by one individual. I'd rather not give it away, but the crime fighters journey to the revealed villains lair where he explains his master plan. You know, the usual bad guy thing. But un like any other hero comic, this ending is different. It through me for a loop. I strongly recommend this book to anyone.
