I just read it recently, and I'll admit to being somewhat underwhelmed. For instance, I thought The Tick did most of this postmodern-hero stuff better and funnier (although I suppose it's moot if the Tick would have been born without Watchmen preceding him). I did like some of the technical stuff (like the way the pirate comics the newstand freeloader was reading paralleled what was happening in the main plotlines), and I did like the relationship between Nite Owl (II) and the Silk Spectre (II), right down to the way they served refreshments to the people they rescued.
One of those things that probably only bother me and you: quis custodiet custodes is routinely mistranslated as a present tense, not as a future tense. Arrgh.
