Welcome to the first installment of our monthly book club at Comics: The Gathering. We hope to create discussion not only on the chosen book itself but also your reading experience. Check in frequently throughout the month and let us know your thoughts and feelings as you are reading the book. Did a particular panel grab you? Did you interpret something differently if this is not your first reading of the piece? Absolutely anything at all! Share everything with us as you go along. Also very important is to comment on what others have posted. Did you see things the same way? Did you not notice that? We want to create an online discussion so sharing and participating is the key.The book chosen for the month of January is the perennial classic, The Watchmen! The discussion begins tonight January 72015 and will have a closing date of January 312015. I’ve posted some questions you can answer as you’re reading to help the discussion to get started. By all means post more questions and respond to the answers of others. The last week of January will be dedicated to posting your final thoughts and reviews on the book which I again encourage you all to respond to as they are posted.Everyone is welcome to join in so please help promote our book club with your friends, family and through social media.Questions to think about and answer as you’re reading The Watchmen:What do you think of the book’s title?How deep into the book did you get before you understood the relevance of the title?Did the title reflect the main themes of the book?Who is the protagonist of the story?How did the personality and experiences of the protagonist shape the direction of the book?Are the characters actions justified?Did reading the book invoke any strong emotions in you?
