I don't know how many times I've read it, and I'm not much into re-reading things.
Who is the real 'good guy' of the book? Is there even one? I used to think it was Adrian Veidt, but I'm not sure if he was so much an altruist as a megalomaniac. Would those motives even matter, given the result (however temporary it may or may not be)? Maybe Rorschach was the good guy. He's a nutcase, but he's passionate about justice.
I can't help but think that, somewhere in there, there must be some kind of clue as to the identity of Rorschach's father. Everything else is so circular and tied-up that I can't help but think it must be someone from the book.
I have other questions about it, and possibly some answers, too.
What have you got to say about it?
By the way, what's your favourite scene? I'm torn between Laurie coming to her big realization, and Max Shaw discovering what's under the tarp ("Nothing, Love. Nothing's wrong. Hold me."). Extremely powerful scenes.
And how do you think things unfolded afterwards (both for Dan and Laurie, and in the offices of the New Frontiersman)?
I love this book.
