Interestingly, Watchmen and V for Vendetta are actually pretty topical given the political climate in the US today.
Watchmen is a classic - read it again keeping in mind that the heroes were supposed to be the Charlton characters - Rorsach = the Question, The Comedian = Peacemaker, Dr. Manhattan = Capt. Atom.

Also, for fun, some fan re-wrote the story as "What if Stan Lee wrote the Watchmen", it is hilarious.
