I recently read the series, and it was one of the greatest pieces of literature I ever read.
The art style shifting between panels was incredibly interesting, especially during the flashback of the comedian at Moloch's. Every little detail is in place for a reason. Rereading it for more content gave me bonuses that I never noticed.
The best characters are probably the comedian and Rorschach. They are fundamentally flawed in the way they operate, but are incredibly engaging, to the point of sympathy at the funeral.
The only problem I had was the exposition seemed a bit rushed. Chapter eleven is almost nothing but plot twists and reveals. Aside from that, this is arguably the most influential piece in the genre. Name one superhero comic or film that did not take an example from this.
