Biggest surprise when you read the book...

Miller's Sin City and Dark Knight graphic novels were also, for me, very enjoyable. (Yes, deconstruction is overdone. As an aside: Woody Allen's "Deconstructing Harry" was the last Allen film I was able to stomach ...barely)

Miller's DareDevil was my favorite.

By the way, just read an engaging essay saying that Rorschach wasn't a deconstruct of Batman (who holds a place close to my heart) but rather Mr. A and Question. Stands to reason given timeline, and in my defense I already said I came to Watchmen much later...
