"Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons seems to have no trouble riding the wave of popularity his work has received thanks to Watch-Mania here at Comic-Con. In a press conference immediately following the panel discussion where clips of the film were shown, Gibbons and the cast seemed awestruck after seeing many of the images for the first time.

"I love this movie! It provides an indepth portrayal of the sinister London streets. And it shows the brutality and insanity of Jack the Ripper. It also has a tastey royal conspiracy hidden in the layers of the movie. " [More]
