I must admit, when Justin steered me towards Shitty Watchmen I was a bit confused. Why would I read through a massive Tumblr of redrawn pages with no dialogue and much less artistry? The official synopsis even seemed overly snobby:

Shitty Watchmen is a formalist exercise analyzing the language of comics as utilized by Alan Moore and, more importantly, Dave Gibbons. Shitty Watchmen seeks to scrutinize the masterful use of composition and panel breakdown within the most undeniably complex comic book ever created. The means by which these staggering artistic achievements are deconstructed? Super shitty drawings.

I read through an interview with creator Dave Baker and became a little more intrigued. Then, I simply started clicking through the entire tumblr and it's full archive. It is shitty but not that shitty. I'm on board and enjoyed the exercise way more than I originally suspected.
