Nov 30 2007'Watchmen' Set-to-Comic Comparisons
Leave it to the clever folk at Maxim magazine to think of comparing the recently released Watchmen set pictures with corresponding images from the comic, revealing the startlingly attention to detail Zack Snyder has given to every subtle element. Next thing you know, those Maxim boys are going to deduce the 9 hottest pregnant women ever, or something funny about beer.
Besides the diner looking like something out of The Majestic, I really like what they're doing here. See the other comparisons under the cut, or just wait for your douchebag roommate to leave the issue in your bathroom. Thanks for the tip, Barry.

I've always wondered why most remakes, superhero comic adaptations, cartoon adaptations, book adaptations, etc. are totally raped by Hollywood so that the director/writer/whoever can add his or her own "artistic touch," but for some reason comics by guys like Frank Miller and whoever-did-the-Watchmen are recreated frame by frame... Although to be fair, they clearly redesigned that Gungan Diner. Meesa liken dem bombin gonzo colors.
