It's a very good graphic novel, and I usually hate the genre.

Have I read the Watchmen?

Have I read The Watchmen?

It's a fantastic graphic novel. Just about everything from Alan Moore is great.

Ha, yeah, I figured that you'd read it.

Rorschach is one of my favorite characters in the book. He's very "street level".

I brought this book a month ago. I read it in 2 days. It is fantastic.

I was thinking of making Rorschach my avatar, but I decided not to given his right-wing leanings.

I was worried about making Rorschach my user name, since he's described as "practically a nazi" by one of the other characters. I figured that I could use my intense interest in psychology to explain that away if anyone really got bent out of shape about it.

In any case, he's a pretty hardcore objectivist, but right-wing or not, I love me some anti-hero.

I also love how the pattern on his mask correlates with the events in the story, such as in my avatar.
