On the other hand, though it's fetishistic and personal, I like to think that my fetishes aren't that obscure. Who doesn't want to see girls running down the trenches of World War One wreaking havoc? I'd always had an interest in those worlds– comic books, fantasy art, animated films. I'd like to see this, that's how I approach everything, and then keep pushing it from there. [56] As one of the rare avid fans of this film, I was excited to get my hands on a book where art & production design took such a prominent role in the telling of a story. What I found is that this book is... fine.

Legendary Pictures reportedly attributed the movie's failure to become a box office hit to movie audiences not accepting a female action hero.

One of the more "wordy" aspect of the book, is the introduction initially for the entire movie. Much appreciated too (for folks like me who enjoy a good "war story" :p).

Don't get me wrong, it's an "Art of..." book and there is plenty of beautiful art so it delivers on it's promise, it just feels more like a film "companion" than an insightful piece. I prefer the latter.There are more art for other characters, such as the awesome samurai who likes big guns, Meka (yes, a mecha), soldiers, knights, a generic looking dragon, robots, zombies and orcs who look like cousins from their LOTR counterpart. Other art includes the sets like the castle, the mental institution, cathedral, city and Japanese temple. There are also miscellaneous stuff like the flying bomber and weapons (few).

All these are from the vivid imagination of the lead, Babydoll. Susanne Ault (June 24, 2009). " Watchmen BD Live screening set for Comic-Con". Video Business . Retrieved June 25, 2009.
