Full Trailer To HBO’s Watchmen Series

HBO has released the full trailer for its Watchmen series from Lost creator Damon Lindelof will air on Sunday, Oct. 20 at 9/8c.

Set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws, Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own. Originally published as a 12-issue miniseries beginning in 1986, Watchmen quickly become one of sequential art’s most acclaimed stories. The original story centers on a murder-mystery before unfolding into a planet-altering conspiracy that ultimately asks where the fine line is drawn between heroes and villains.
