Reading Watchmen with Eka: Recent Episodes
READING WATCHMEN WITH EKA
This is my first-ever podcast where I will read and review the original graphic novel of Watchmen. I will also feature separate segments for the film allusions.
Updates will be every other week, depending on my schedule. Thanks for listening!
You can also find me here at readwm-with-eka at LiveJournal
Here is the second part that includes examinations of the highlight chapters, characters and supplement material. If you want to acquaint yourself some more with the Watchmen fandom, I recommend these sites:

Stay tuned for my analysis episode for the Zack Snyder adaptation.
A whole year has almost passed since my update but here is the final episode review of Watchmen. I have a 20-minute wrap-up episode to follow which will include the highlights of the graphic novel and some other miscellaneous discussions pertaining to my podcast. I'll also be reviewing Zack Snyder's 2009 film adaptation and then I will start on a new podcast which will talk about the Before Watchmen comics.
Thank you so much for everyone who tuned in and listened to every episode release despite the irregularities of my updates. It has been a tremendous pleasure and honor to be a part of the Watchdom! May Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' legacy live on!
