Oh man, I love comics. I never got around to reading Watchman, for some reason, though it's such a classic. I always thought syncing the narration and the artwork, especially when it's drawn by someone else, sounds difficult, no matter how complicated a script you give the artist, so well-written comic books have my respect.

Sally's backstory sounds rather disturbing, to me, but Sally herself seems very interesting.

Sally's backstory is pretty disturbing, and I wish more of it had been covered in the book. She's pretty fascinating, but she catches a lot of flack, especially knowing the Comedian is Laurie's father.
