With its
array of carefully crafted oddballs and its thicket of
interconnected plotlines, Alan Moore's 1986 graphic novel reads
like a Dickensian take on superheroes—sprawling yet tightly
plotted, epic yet personal, packed with the details and
digressions. Like the best of Dickens, Watchmen is a great
work of serial fiction. But the adaptation, writes Peter Suderman,
plays like a lesser form of serial—a soap opera.
