I'm glad the Watchmen piece was useful to you. On the subject of remakes, I suspect you're on to something; witness the excitement -- and anxiety -- around the new Star Trek film, which aims to revamp and improve on a beloved original while retaining just enough elements to register as familiar. A tricky tightrope walk! Your book looks fascinating -- I plan to check it out. Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad the Watchmen piece was useful to you.
