I really like your art style, but I honestly can't read it and have no idea what's going on.

Basically Rob and his wife Maria discover Watchmen much to their disgust and horror.

Why does reading Watchmen make them want to eat brains?

That’s coming from Maria: she’s a zombie saying an euphemism.

I’m trying to wrap my mind around this. A euphemism for what? Is this a sort of Chewbacca situation? Like how Chewbacca roars and Han understands him? Like, is she a zombie and can only talk about brains, but he understands her? The comic doesn’t provide a lot of context clues in this regard😆

It’s sort of a loose continuity where sometimes Maria moans and shambles and others she functions like a human.

The truth is Maria is supposed to be a moaning and shambling but very friendly undead monster.

If it's the classic Watchmen comic, there's not a lot wrong with it aside from the unnecessary pirate interludes and a few parts of the ending sequence (not spoiling anything).

The deceased Comedian is supposed to be seen as a horrible guy and that's portrayed well. There's a lot of political intrigue and philosophy that desires provoking thoughts as well, so it's more of a mature read rather than pure shock value like a lot of fiction media nonsense these days.
