At this point, I feel if Warner Brothers/DC and Disney/Marvel could make a trilogy of movies about the Mona Lisa, they would. Some art should be allowed to stand on its own.

- Latest Review: Basic Training for the Self-Publishing Battlefields by Lewis Kempfer
It sounded interesting so I checked out my library's database and discovered the book which housed all issues under one roof. I found it fascinating that the characters were grounded in reality, so to speak, and that they were very much like everyday folks who wanted to do something rather than watch from the sidelines (yes, I'm including Doc in this). There was even a story within the story itself; similar to Urasawa's Monster with the inclusion of Obluda (The Nameless Monster).
It wasn't my first per se but it was memorable and I understood why Brutus enjoyed Rorschach's character so much. He was quiet, kept to himself most of the time, was brilliant, had a dislike toward females but addressed Silk Spectre 2 (Miss Juspeczyk as he calls her) with a lot of respect and he's a professional sugar cube bagger. Yeah the last part sounds weird but just observing him bagging them up while being watched and the watcher being completely unaware till much later says a lot.
I only saw the opening scene of the movie and didn't feel I was ready for the leap.

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.
