Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is watching you watch the Watchmen

By Griffin McElroy

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!
