#comicsky #booksky Several months ago, I realized something about Watchmen that looking back on now… It’s insanely obvious. It’s crazier still that no one on the planet has yet to “officially” write about this, no Watchmen companion books or analyzations point this out, but…

#comicsky #booksky Quick reminder that using this image as representative of an explosion is incorrect. Jon doesn’t blow up Rorschach, Jon sends him to Mars.

This post is unavailable.

@comicsjournal.bsky.social @kurtbusiek.bsky.social @gailsimone.bsky.social #comicsky #booksky Genuine question… If Dave Gibbons used a certain pattern to indicate teleportation in “Watchmen”, then shouldn’t all future uses of said pattern indicate teleportation?

@paulkupperberg.bsky.social I know you’re a writer, and not an artist, but perhaps you have insight. Gibbons uses an explosion pattern when Jon destroys things. But when Jon “destroyed” Walter, no explosion. Instead the teleportation pattern is used. Why the switch up, do you think?

#comicsky #booksky @comicsjournal.bsky.social When Doctor Manhattan destroys something, the symbol associated with that destruction is visible explosion. But when Manhattan “kills” Rorschach, we don’t get explosion. We get the teleportation pattern that Gibbons previously used for Jon’s button.

Why do we get the teleportation pattern but not the visible explosion when Jon “kills” Rorschach? #comicsky #booksky

I don’t expect Busiek or Simone to know the answer for sure as they didn’t work on the book, but perhaps they have a certain insight? Why would a comic book artist use the same exact pattern for killing that they already used for teleportation? That’s confusing.

@mikester.bsky.social Yo Mike, I don’t usually try to bother you but this seems like a legit question and I was curious about your input. If you “don’t want to get dragged into this”, fair. Just curious on your thoughts.

#comicsky #booksky I made my first ever Watchmen video lmao Obviously very amateur, and I’ll have to invest in a microphone and possibly take a video editing course… But not a too terrible start. I think video is the way to go when revealing Watchmen’s secrets.
