Genre Buster Bombs

A workable definition of a genre buster bomb would be a work in a genre that destroys or significantly changes said genre, often by some form of often violent deconstruction.

Any others I'm missing? And did Watchmen really bust a genre? I'm really not much up on the comic scene. Pretty sure there was a deconstruction, but maybe not so much the oh it's the end of a genre as we know it.

Idiomdrottning claims "Watchmen, The Longbow Hunters, and The Dark Knight Returns together destroyed light-hearted superhero comics." So this might be a genre cluster buster bomb.
