WatchmenComicMovie.com Forum

Yes you read right.

This classic post from the old newsarama boards sparked an almost two year long thread, including hilarious wikipedia edits (which have thankfully been corrected) and photoshop shenanigans.

Can you imagine what would have happened if InDaMix had posted that here?!

An EPIC FAIL of monumental proportions and no mistake!

It went on to inspire a brilliant parody poll in which members had to vote for the "greatest graphic novel of all time": Grant Morrison's Watchmen or Amazon's Attack

The true genius of it was that beside Grant not writing Watchmen (obviously), Amazon's Attack was an EPIC FAIL of a mini-event DC threw out at the beginning of 2008 - truly awful in every sense.

I'm now officially a fan of InDaMix!



But then such a classic thread will never exist in the 1st place!

EDIT: Come to think about it, InDaMix is either a hopelessly ignorant 'comic fan', or a brilliant trickster who successfully deceived everyone. Either way, I'm still a fan!

Brilliant when he turns up again, nearly 2 years later and comments on the fact that the thread is still on the front page of the forums Not many trolls could create such genuinely entertaining threads.

LOL

Reminds me of this acquaintance I had who dissed the July trailer because "I don't like Frank Miller books." ASDFGHJKL;

At least he didn't say Alan Moore was a better Bond than Connery.
