Still relevant in 2025
5 Sterne
Still some excellent narrative and art to combine into a lovely layering of different media. Each comic (so every two dozen pages) finished with an article, newspaper, ad or some other copy from within the Watchmen world that actively fleshes it in clever ways.
I'm still not entirely sure what the Tales of the Black Freighter adds, the urgency of the story-within-the-story isn't needed. I had to read several pages twice due to the interleaving of the two stories on the same page. But the linking of imagery in one and the text in the other is clever.
While the tech and the physics don't quite hold up in 2025, the politics really, really do.
