Yeah, I've caught "Watchmen" fever...bad thing is I just read the book a few days ago! O_o

I don't know that I could pull off the REAL Rorschach, so this is my vision of what a "copycat" version might look like. Maybe from before 1977, maybe briefly giving the Keene Act the metaphorical finger before getting busted...

Maybe even active AFTER the events of the comic...

That the mask is not a full hood is not an "artistic touch" so much as it was a reflection on my limitations. ;) Still...not TOO bad given that I pulled it off with ONLY things I had on hand this evening. Strip of old, WELL-WORN T-shirt (yes I can see through it) tied in the back, sharpied "inkblots..."

Let me pause here for the safety lesson of the day...after using a marker to get the design the way you like it, throw the mask in the dryer on the "fluff/air" setting for a while to get rid of all the fumes, fergoshsakes!!!! LonelyImmortal cannot be held responsible if you suffocate yourself by hiding in a mobster's refrigerator after getting hopped up on marker fumes from your snazzy new mask!

Well...that's about it. Trenchcoat & gloves & "training" baton (don't be fooled, that thing can STILL pack a whallop!) all in my possession already...

ETA: The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of costumed heroes still prowling around "Veidt's Utopia." Especially those out to expose the truth behind it.

I can see it happening, even if Walter's journal NEVER sees the light of day!

How? Well, this is the comics world. And even here in the real world, we have people that honestly believe something as far-fetched and disturbing: that the United States Government was behind the 9/11 attacks.

Now, I concede with any conspiracy theory - you can't prove it's real, but I can't prove it ISN'T either. (Well, except for those that I can, but...you know).

I dismiss the idea of my country being behind 3,000 innocents killed not because I have solid proof otherwise, but because the thought is just too, too frakked up for my poor brain to entertain.

RIGHT, enough about the real world!

Even if things are lovey-dovey between the Ruskies and the Americans now, I imagine crime will still exist. Hence a need and motivation for people to continue to defy the government and be costumed heroes.

And if Walter's journal gets published, bet that REALLY fans the flames. But like I said, even if not, I figure there HAVE to be people out there that sense something sinister behind the conveniently-timed "alien" attack. Even if they don't know what, exactly. Or who was behind it...

Maybe one of them takes up Rorschach's name and part of his mantle, and goes out to dispense brutal justice as well as try to find the truth behind the attack in NYC...
