Reading Watchmen: Watchmen: Chapter IV - page 8 Reading Watchmen A year-long journey examining, analyzing, and discussing Alan Moore's & Dave Gibbons's seminal graphic novel, Watchmen, in order to better appreciate this groundbreaking book. Pages Home A Mission Statement & A Caveat Monday, April 9, 2012 Watchmen: Chapter IV - page 8 PAGE 8 Panels 2-3: The caption, “Good as new,” could be interpreted as a commentary on how Jon Osterman might be perceived once he has changed into Dr. Manhattan (A new, improved Jon Osterman!) Also, note the hands on the watch – that had previously been frozen when it was broken – segues into a scene of Jon and Janey’s “frozen hands” on the glass of beer seen earlier in this issue.

If you have not read Watchmen, be warned that – as this site delves into the symbolism, use of foreshadowing, and meaning of the book – spoilers abound. In fact, the annotation for the very first page, as included here, reveals the identity of who murdered Edward Blake. This site is meant to enrich one’s reading experience of Watchmen, but I would certainly not wish to spoil that for anyone. Thank you, chris "One reason it might be nice for critics to take a look back at the original book [Watchmen] right now is that despite claims to the contrary, these new works [Before Watchmen] will for most audiences have some sort of impact on the original -- if only by providing narrative detail on story events from the original whose power derives in part from their ambiguity, a filling-in-the-blanks that will be hard to shake." -Tom Spurgeon at the Comics Reporter About Me Chris Beckett View my complete profile Subscribe To Posts Atom Posts Comments Atom Comments Full Chapter Annotations Chapter I Chapter II Chapter III Chapter IV Chapter V Chapter VI Chapter VII Chapter VIII Chapter IX Chapter X Chapter XI Chapter XII Resources Comic Geek Speak - Footnotes on Watchmen Watchmen Annotations - by Doug Atkinson Warrior27 A sister site dedicated to my comics & prose writing Warrior27 Loading...
