Ozymandias’ plan has been revealed. This is one of the greatest reveals I’ve seen in fiction. From one of the most insidious antagonists I’ve seen yet.

I also love how this subverts the usual comic book trope of monologuing.

The world is close to nuclear war. The apocalypse is almost here. And our duo has found out Ozymandias is behind everything.

Two chapters left. I’m anxious.

Chapter 9 might be my favorite chapter so far. And the most powerful. This comic is a masterpiece. The art. The big twist of Laurie’s parentage. Laurie’s optimism. Dr. Manhattan being tired of humanity. His belief in fatalisim. His scene at the end while the panels pan out of Mars and into space. It’s all beautiful.

RIP Hollis Mason. The original Nite-Owl. That was brutal…

I’m on chapter 8. It’s pretty difficult to give my thoughts on Watchmen so far. It’s very dense. I definitely need to give this a reread, and read the in-book supplementary material, in the future. But it’s definitely great.

Chapter 6 is Rorschach’s backstory. Holy shit… this guy is fucked up.

Moloch put Rorschach into the palm of NYPD’s hand, then killed himself. Someone tried to assassinate Veidt. Laurie is now living with Dreiberg.

We get more of Rorschach being a crazy, unhinged asshole. And it seems he’s the “The end is nigh” guy.
