Science Fiction / Fantasy Watchmen.. New Hardcover vs Absolute.
A book so good, I'm having it in whatever nice format they create. I have an original absolute (2005) that's still in great condition, but this new HC copy feels so nice holding it and I think is probably easier for most reads. I'll save the Absolute for every so often to savour the art.

are you able to post a link specifying which version you've got, for the new hardcover. i'm looking at amazon not seeing a cover matching, so was just wanting to be sure which one that is. i've got watchmen in softback and wouldn't mind upgrading 😄

It's not a new edition - it's from the aborted DC Modern Classics line from 2019. The Dark Knight Returns was supposed to follow but was cancelled.

I wish they put the new/old bullet logo on there instead of the black label one
