Watchmen graphic novel gets Blu-ray treatment

This March, it won't only be the feature film version of Watchmen finally making it to the screen. Warner recently announced plans to bring the graphic novel to life as a motion comic available on blu-ray March 3.

A mesmerizing five hours in length, Watchmen: Complete Motion Comic will present the entire 12 chapters of the original graphic novel in full-length animated form. Watchmen illustrator, Dave Gibbons oversaw the project, adding limited motion, voice and sound to his staggering artwork. 

No doubt come March, should anyone asks, "Who watches the watchmen?" The answer will almost ubiquitously be, "All of us."
