Watchmen

Team » Watchmen appears in 29 issues.

Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The grouping of heroes and villains contained in the work are not, in fact, named "The Watchmen", though they were at one point referred to as "Crimebusters". Rorschach, Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan were the team's primary heroes.

Who is your favorite Watchmen character?

I'm leaning towards Rorschach. I'm partial to detectives.

Rorschach and Night Owl.

Rorschach might not have been the nicest of the characters, but he had a certain sense of Justice and Determination about him that the others didn't have. Sure he was a psychopathic killer, but he always targeted those that we all have viewed as the world would be better off without. Rorschach represents that feral side of us as human beings that wants to take matters into our own hands when and injustice has been done. He also represents the path of vengeance and unwavering mindsets, which led directly to his own destruction. It was one of my least favorite parts of the book, but the reason Rorschach went to his death at the hands of Dr. Manhattan is because he knew he could not live in Adrian Veidt's new world. His conscience wouldn't allow it, but he knew at the same time it would save the world even if it was the result of a lie. Death became a final release and show of mercy for the tormented soul of Rorschach.

Rorschach, most definitely but the comedian is a close second.

Comedian I like his spot in history.

#8 Posted by Hot_Karl (288 posts) - 11 months, 29 days ago - Show Bio

Rorschach, of course. Dr. Manhattan is my second favorite.

Rorschach, the comedian is second cause of his part in the movie.

Rorsarch, Silhouette and Dr.Manhattan. I love them all for different reasons.

Bit worried about the Before Watchmen stuff, might change my mind on a few characters :/

Ozymandias...Rorschach was definitely my least favorite character.

I'm surprised to see so many Comedian fans. He is my least favorite.

#16 Edited by FullmetalChobit (218 posts) - 11 months, 29 days ago - Show Bio

@knighthood: Yeah frankly I don't get that either, after what he did to Sally Jupiter....

#17 Posted by Video_Martian (5631 posts) - 11 months, 29 days ago - Show Bio

Rorschach's my favorite.

Also, why does everyone like Comedian, he's a f***ing rapist.

This, I've never been able to decide between the 2

Ozymandias kicks more ass than all of them combined (excluding Manhattan).

#20 Posted by Video_Martian (5631 posts) - 11 months, 29 days ago - Show Bio

Ozy was a pretty cool villain, though...

This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face...all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No."

I've always had a soft spot for both Nite Owls, and Dan especially. It's really easy for me to relate to him.

#23 Posted by Jeanniebird (87 posts) - 9 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

@FullmetalChobit: Yeah, but everybody loves Rorschach and he doesn't exactly have a clean slate, either

@Jeanniebird: Rape is a more horrendous crime of the soul than murder is, IMHO.
