It happened – after a constant onslaught of media since I saw the first trailer during The Dark Knight, I finally gave in and started the journey into exploring the Watchmen universe. I just put the motion comic away and I have to say – I can see why people love this so much, but for some reason I just can’t bring myself to calling it the “be all, end all” of graphic novels.
Anyway, the hype train begins with a simple fascination with the character of Rorshach – for some reason, his attitude and “No Shades of Grey” demeanor really appealed to me as I played through the fun beat em up Watchmen: The End is Nigh. This fanboyism was further enhanced with the Watchmen motion comic.
Sure, Nite Owl was a cool dude and Dr. Manhattan was the epitome of a “Super” hero, but Rorshach was clearly the star of the show.
