'Lost' Book Club: 'Watchmen'

'Lost' Book Club: 'Watchmen'
(DC Comics) Entertainment Weekly "Lost" guru Jeff "Doc" Jensen totally called it back in February when he opined that Desmond was possessed of a set of qualities he'd seen somewhere before. And it's no surprise considering "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof called this graphic novel the "greatest piece of popular fiction ever produced." We're talking about Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's "Watchmen," our next selection for the "Lost" Book Club. "Watchmen" follows the lives of a handful of all-too-human decommissioned superheroes as they navigate the murky waters of post-glory day life. Each is motivated by a deeply personal struggle and faces different challenges in a world badly in need of saving. Hidden agendas, a bumbling shadowy government and sketches of a seedy, not-too-distant future make for an oppressive, yet addictive, read. Why We Chose It: Because of the obvious "Lost" parallels: Like "Lost's" Desmond, Dr. Manhattan experiences the past, present
