Quest for Lost Heroes by David Gemmell

(mild spoilers) There’s something about this book that feels appropriate for a New Year’s review. Something about renewal. But there’s plenty more to this story. On the surface, Q…

2021 Round Up

2021… a difficult year. I’m notorious for not speaking about my private life; suffice to say, it’s been extremely difficult, gruelling and relentless. But there is light at the en…

Great stuff, Dan.

At the time of first reading Watchmen, I wasn't impressed by the ending, thinking that the expose of Rorschach's journal would be written off as a crank conspiracy theory by almost everyone and would gain no traction at all. I now think Moore was amazingly prescient.

 

[Dan Jones]

It's great that Moore leaves it open like that. There is the possibility that Rorschach's journal, coming off the crank pile, will be dismissed. But there are green shoots of hope scattered through the book, like Dan and Laurie's happy ending. I suppose it doesn't matter whether Rorschach's journal is believed or not, I suppose, because we already got the ending of Veidt's arc through the Tales of the Black Freighter story - the soul of the mad, damned sailor is claimed by the Black Freighter. Likewise, Adrian Veidt has let his soul be damned, and he knows it.
