I guess if my girl broke up with me I’d teleport everyone the hell away and then go to Mars. Totally. A lot of foreshadowing happened in Chapter 3. We got some personality traits of the guy holding that sign that we have seen throughout Chapters 1 & 2. I like the, “End is today - I feel it. Oh, hold that magazine for me tomorrow!”

Maybe the comedian really isn’t dead? HA.

At this point, I’m not sure to feel sorry for the big blue guy or the girl. I’m doubting the cancer allegations, though the damage is already done in the public eye. Who can prove it? Takes years.

Must read more.

Chapter two went over the funeral. I didn’t learn much except the past on a few of the characters introduced. In the past, we learned just how an ASS The Comedian was. While some points, sure were valid in a black and white world… where are the grays?

Of course, I only have a small narrow view of what was going on in those times. I hope to learn more coming up.

On to chapter three!

Got the first chapter finished! I even read the “Under the Hood” excerpt after the comic.

So, the first chapter basically introduces all the characters, from what I can tell. It does an excellent job in setting the scene and atmosphere of the story. Each character’s personality comes out in either Rorschach’s journal or in conversation. Although I’m not fully sure exactly what the Keen’s Act was,  I can tell it didn’t allow superheros to “operate” above the law. I did notice the graffiti on the wall that said “Who watches the watchmen?” Curious about that indeed.

A lot of questions have been brought up and not answered but without questions there wouldn’t be a story.

On to chapter two with high hopes!

As you are sure to be aware of, the recent Watchmen trailer that has been released has create much hype. I watched the trailer as abjectly as possible and was able to hold back all those, “Happy Happy, Joy Joy” feelings with ease. You see, it is because I have never read the comic nor had I ever heard of it (I’m so ashamed).

In light of this, I will begin reading this comic in the upcoming days. Depending on how engrossed I become determines how many updates you will get. I might do it by chapter or whatnot. Anyway, in case you live in a hole with me, the trailer is below the cut.

A recent Playstation Underground survey hints at Digital Comic Books being served over the Playstation Network Store. I wonder if what they offer through there would be region locked? I think this might be the end result of recent partnerships to produce gaming comics.

I hope this isn’t just limited to gaming comics. The potential here is boundless.

Garth Franklin over at Dark Horizons, mentions that the film version of “Y: The Last Man” is looking good. The article also explains the plans to make the movie a trilogy and downplay the Beth angle. LaBeouf has expressed interest in the movie. I only hope this does not make this into a comedic adventure, but rather an adventure with some “Yorrik” moments.

I would like the story to main relatively true to the core, however, I would have to agree that the Beth angle was sort of a side story. While it did drive and move Yorrik through-out the story, I can see how even if you completely remove Beth, you would still have Y: The Last Man.

Having just finished the series last week, I would recommend as a good post-apocalyptic read.

Movie is slated for completion in 2010.
