Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is watching you watch the Watchmen

Though our comic nerd roots dictate that we should probably be sternly protesting Friday's release of the slow-mo-infused film adaptation of
Watchmen, we can't help but be
a little excited. Sure, it'll probably lose a bit of its trademark melancholy in translation, but the casting of Billy Crudup as the illuminated Dr. Manhattan does add a certain
dreaminess factor. We're not too sure about
the video game, though. On the literary-ludological adaptability spectrum,
Watchmen clocks in somewhere between
Jane Eyre and
Chicken Noodle Soup for the Grandmother's Soul.
Here's our seven favorite
highly adaptable webcomics for this week. Make sure you vote for your favorite after the break!
