Okay, I wanna see the Watchmen movie. Of course, I need to read the comic first. I've only read about 1/4th of it then I probably got distracted by Robins or some such. Now, I have a reason to read it. I didn't know Question and Blue Beetle (Ted) had existed BEFORE the Watchmen. I love Ted and Vic, and there are characters based off them in the comic, so says the internet.
Obviously, Rorschach is based off the Question, which made him more awesome than I already thought he was. Nite Owl II is based off Ted, so I hear. <3 And the Comedian is based off of Peacemaker (who we've seen lately in the the latest Blue Beetle run). Three characters based off of three already awesome characters. I gotta read this just for that, then see the movie. <3
I always under the impression that Question came after Rorschach, and that Ted was created during Crisis on Infinite Earths. Guess I was wrong. *goes to read Watchmen* Oh, one quote I remembered that makes me giggle. Thanks, Rorschach.

Date: 2009-03-11 12:10 am (UTC)I bought DH a hard back copy recently and promptly swiped it to read. As I was lying in bed reading, with the book held above me, my shoulder cramped. I dropped the book on myself and bloodied my lip. LOL So be careful.
It was a good read, and I picked up on the Rorshach/Question connection, but until you mentioned it I didn't see the other. But now it's sooo obvious. I saw another one, but I'll wait til you've finished reading it to see if you can pick it out yourself.
