Well, this is a strange occurence. After all these years... I'm rediscovering my love for comic books and I'm feeling all nostaligic about them.

Ditko! ♥

Doctor Strange is ftw. And The Question. They're so damn trippy it kind freaks me but in a good way *nod* Ahhh, gotta love him.

What's even cooler is that some of his Charlton comics characters were even the inspiration for the characters in Watchmen. So that's epic win of life.

Yeah, Alan Moore is a huge Ditko fan and Mr. A is reeeeeally like Rorschach. Which is, as you put it, EPIC WIN OF LIFE.

Ahhh, The Watchmen is my favouriteeee. I don't even care how cliche that is, it's true.

WATCHMEN MOVIE.
AAAAH.
IT LOOKS AMAZING (as in looks. god forbid it's just straight out action. Cause I mean, it's WATCHMEN. THIS SHOULD MAKE EVERYONE THINK)

They had the trailer before TDK for you too, right?

Saying Watchmen is your favourite only shows you have taste, buddy.
