I've never actually read the graphic novel. Probably a stupid question, but is it as good as it's hyped up to be?

It's bleak and character-driven. The colours are intentionally subdued, there are no thought bubbles or sound effects and it's not indended to leap off the page at you. It's also something that - due to the publisher going under - took over ten years to complete (so the last third is really very different from the start).

But yes, it's very good. As good as the hype? I'm not sure. But definitely worth a read.

Thanks for the info. How about Watchmen? Is that worth a read as well?

IMO, yep. I didn't get around to reading either until the last year or so, and I thoroughly enjoyed both of them.
