Watchmen was absolutely stunning for all the reasons you listed. I also like how Lindelof has come out in interviews later as to why he decided not to do more - and it was basically something along the lines of (despite his self diagnosed ego) the show being the product of a team that he would never be able to reassemble, as folks were snapped up in other writer rooms. He'd never be able to touch what he did before, so he said if HBO wanted more, they would have to do it without him.
Love both of the books from this year too. Your work always has me doing a first read of art before I can actually drink in the story.
