My Top 10 WTF Moments in Comics

By dipthegeezer

Here they are in no particular order be warned there are spoilers here!!!

  • Watchmen – Moore/Gibson. – So many moments in this book but for me the ending was a true WTF moment. Throughout the book ( and it is a book, no matter what those idiots say about it being a ‘Graphic Novel’ ) Rorsharch is presented to us as, quite frankly, a paranoid nut job walking around beating people up. We have no sympathy for him and we end up detesting him. Then in a total twist at the end we end up rooting for him and even agreeing with him in his attempts to stop Ozymandias, I remember thinking to myself ‘What The F**K’ after I had finished reading the last page. I still consider this book to be the high point of fiction in the late eighties. Its a genre comic about superheroes, its a comic book about the history of comics, its a political allegory, its all of the above… its none of the above…..genius.

    Okay, that’s just one moment. Where are the other nine?

    And I disagree about Rorschach. I liked and sympathised with him from the start.
