I can see that this was groundbreaking upon publication, but I am reading it for the first time now in the year 2024 and it is difficult to wrap my head around it. The beginning dragged, then I was hooked at Dr Manhattan's story. Then it started dragging again and I realised I did not care who was doing the murders. The last three chapters I ended up watching the motion comic, it was much easier to get through with someone reading it aloud to me. I'm glad I read this but I doubt I'll read it again.
