Watchmen is / was one of the greatest graphic novels ever written, truly. It has actually been named by various literary critics as one of the best American novels of all time. Of course it, to be fair to you young whipper-snappers, it was written in 1986. I had the original published series and recall being able to sell it at a tidy profit about 5 years ago.
The film is supposed to be very close to the novel / comic. Hope so because it was amazing. The trailer(s) have been out for months now and has been one of the most viewed on Apples trailer site for some time.
Yes, it is an alternate universe story.
