WATCHMEN 4 is one of the greatest things i've ever seen. why didn't they make us read this in high school?

Sad to think the man who brought us 300 and the Dawn of the Dead remake will be making Watchmen as well. Let's pray it doesn't get butchered. Anyway I have a few other graphic novel suggestions if anybody craves em.
Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron by Daniel Clowes
Sin City (series) by Frank Miller
David Boring by Clowes
Hardboiled by Frank Miller
V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
Clerks. by Kevin Smith
Preacher (series) by Garth Ennis
Stray Bullets by David Lapham
El Borbah by Charles Burns

despite owning two copies of the glow pt 2, i really can't tell you for certain if i have ever heard anything past the first fifteen minutes of that record. how far in is "you'll be in the air"?

i would like to state dave eggers as an awesome thing.
because while he does not write graphic novels, he does at one point include a very nice drawing of a stapler.
and also because he is my hero.
