Watchmen Chapters 1-4- "A Punch in the Face"


So, I'm gonna try this a little differently from my last several posts. Spencer, in class, said we can create a voice for a blogs and it can be informal or even short if we'd like. I was approaching these blogs as mini responses or essays....Here's to thinking a little differently or outside the box...

First off, as soon as I opened this book, it freaked me out. All the colors, the detailed images, there's so much going on. And it looks a little violent. I liked how "Blankets" was drawn. It seemed softer, not so much as this one, which is kinda like a punch in the face. The author just seems to want to make an explosive impression as soon as you see the front page. Especially with sentences such as, "The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will faom about their waists and all the WHORES and POLITICIANS will look up and shout "save us!"" (pg. 1)

I Like That Sentence......
