Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Mother's day obligations found me upstate with the extended fam surrounded by several small kids and NO INTERNET for 48 hours.
The other bright side to this was finally finishing Alan Moore's Watchmen. Holy christ on a cracker can that man write. I thought it was way better then V for Vendetta. Mostly because I felt far more of a connection to the characters in Watchmen and the structure and language of the story is on point.
That and I really am fascinated by explorations of superheros and revealing the dark, messed up, potentially dangerous and absurd underbelly of folks who put on masks and try to save the day.
Which, has been kind of thing for superhero stories try to incorporate into , though I think the film Kick Ass (Or the graphic novel Incognito, which I highly highly recommend) gets closer to this idea then everyone favorite Dark Knight.
No, I did not see the movie adaptation of the Watchmen, nor to I plan to.
