It's a more grounded and humanistic one than the Big Two publishers are usually willing to maintain, but it has been opened up to new creators to iterate on in the same way Superman passes from one set of hands to another. Now the novelty has aired out and Watchmen is just another continually-revived superhero universe.
not as long as it keeps making money.īut that conversation happened with Before Watchmen and with Doomsday Clock. Why did Doctor Manhattan fight Superman? As the blue-skinned entity once said, "nothing ever ends".
#Watchmen ink blot test series#
(Gibbons seems to be more magnanimous, as the artist worked with HBO to bring the series to life.) As a result, every Watchmen spinoff, sequel, and prequel has an unauthorized air, feeling a little bootleg and a little perverse. Watchmen was a one-and-done work whose writer is still kicking and still vocally unhappy with its caretakers. Superhero comics are defined by endlessly reselling material from long-departed creators under dubiously ethical agreements, including the Charlton Comics characters that would have starred in the original conception of Watchmen, but Watchmen's lack of author involvement is especially distinct. Myerson takes the same course, angled toward left-wing political philosophy instead of right, a distinction that issue 1 sets up but doesn't pay off on just yet. The original Question was an Objectivist hero following the gospel of Ayn Rand, which both inspired Rorschach's ultraconservative, uncompromising viewpoint and foreshadowed Ditko's real-life descent into increasingly bizarre, abstract, and ideologically didactic independent comics. Ditko made The Question, who in turn inspired the character of Rorschach in the original. The new Rorschach, Will Myerson, is an overt parody of Steve Ditko, the famously hermetic Spider-Man creator. The artist's motivations and plans are intentionally unclear the first issue sets the scene in advance of future issues that will shed more light on what he was doing and why. 2003 2(2):142-146.The story is a political detective drama that centers on the new Rorschach, an elderly comics creator who dons the mask with the apparent intent of assassinating an ultraconservative Presidential candidate ahead of the 2020 election.
