Since I couldn't find my copy of Watchmen, I ordered a new copy. Due for a re-read.

If Fay is reading from the collected trade version - won't she get copies of all the covers in the back of the book?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I need a new Watchmen. Mine fell apart from many re-readings.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I have never read Watchmen. I must remedy this.
Related aside - my FLCBS is having a moving sale tomorrow and all trades are discounted... with the explicit exception of Watchmen.

You really must. It's amazingly good. I have a few issues with the ending, that I obviously won't go into at this point w/out spoiler font, but the rest is so good they don't detract from the overall impact.

Hmmm... all copies at both the uni library and public library are on hold. Time to talk to my local fannish lending library, aka my friend Anny.
I want to read Doom Patrol, too. Really, my comics reading has been exceedingly spotty. I haven't even read all of Sandman. And I've barely touched any DC or Marvel canon, but I'm kind of okay with that.

They just redid those ads for the movies
So, was Sally Jupiter's ad the only one that didn't have "Who Watches the Watchmen?" (or at least part of the phrase) somewhere in the ad? I looked at the large version her ad (and it's utterly fucking amazing, as are the others, in terms of detail), but I didn't see the catchphrase anywhere.
Anyone see it?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It's on a ticker looking thing outside the window.

The poster with the ticker outside the window is her daughter.
I mean the one where she's posing for the picture with the inmate on a leash. I don't see "Who Watches the Watchmen?" anywhere in that one.

It's not. Damn, but those are detailed.
