At the threat of "over-praising" a piece of pop culture, I really believe that all accolades the Watchmen recieve are not only well deserved but entirely appropriate as well. It really is the model for what comics can (and sometimes do) become.<BR/><BR/>It never would have occured to me to use the "indices," if you will, as a way to color in and describe the world and the history that the books inhabit.

During one of the flashbacks, The Comedian says something to the effect of, "Rorscharch was an OK guy until he got involved in that kidnapping case and it made him wierd." I'm sure I'll get into that more in the later chapters.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, so far it's just amazing how tight and dense of a piece of work the book is. I really do think it's flawless.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447056995172551179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25893172.post-89692335323033855342009-02-04T06:52:00.000-06:002009-02-04T06:52:00.000-06:00Wasn't the "normal" word bubble a way to illustrat...Wasn't the "normal" word bubble a way to illustrate how Rorschach was before encountering and getting involved in the kidnapping case of the little girl examined later in the book and subsequently confronting her abductor? How that case and its events truly made him Rorschach and no longer "soft" on crime as he states he was before it happened.<BR/><BR/>The thing that's really gotten me about these books is the crazy amount of detail put into them. Over the years I've always tried to find any inconsistencies from panel to panel to no avail.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991630201809678445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25893172.post-79817083263455180002009-02-04T06:48:00.000-06:002009-02-04T06:48:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991630201809678445noreply@blogger.com
