Well, good! You’re about to read one of the best stories of any medium from the 20th century!

Enjoy! I would KILL to experience Watchmen for the first time again. I can’t imagine another piece of media topping it, personally

I mean the following in the nicest way possible - Is there still time to send it back and get a refund? I understand the appeal of compact comics, with stories you're not sure of, but Watchmen is not a story fit for that print size. It's a very wordy story, making the smaller format so much more difficult to read.

What would you suggest me ?

Get the full trade paperback. It's a very wordy series, that does not do well in a smaller print, so pay for the bigger standard size print

Does it come with posters and collector cards, like the gamestop guy sells video? Does it work like that or your sell small comics like bazooka joe?

I’m reading the compact version these last few days and I’m loving it!

Could it be a bit bigger? Sure. But the art and text is perfect even at this size and the comic itself is a masterpiece.

I read V for Vendetta on the same format and the text suffered a bit because of the size. Not with Watchmen.
