reread Watchmen for the first time since uni (approximately 500 years ago) was pleasantly surprised to find I still enjoyed it. Theres some cringey nihilism and boomerlib mythos but it doesn’t get too in the way of a well told story with enjoyable characters. I mostly come away from it more impressed with the artist and colorist than the writer, its a one of a kind style with great visual storytelling, and it’s a rare comic that takes full advantage of the medium. I still like Rorschach but I come away from this reading as Adrian’s top guy. How can you not love the blue eyed white Pharaoh who, after watching 6 million hours of TV, decides he HAS to kill everyone in New York City. A real hero!
So freaking true. Rightoids identify so heavily with rosarch because they can't ever picture themselves as a victor
