RE: [BNW] Brave New World primer
Alan Moore's Watchmen is one of my all time favorite reads. I think it's a
good idea to see things. If you will remember though... DC has had the
storyline where many of the Golden Age costumed vigilantes gave up the mask
instead of turning themselves over to the government. Also... the Kingdom
Come stuff from a couple of years ago might be good to look at as well!
John II
p.s. Rorschach was my favorite character in the novel!!!
Any of you out there read Alan Moore's Watchmen?

Okay - maybe Rorschach is a bit TOO dark for BNW. . .
