task 10 week 10

For this topic I think ill choose a graphic novel called "The Watchmen" which is based on several masked heroes which have their own psychological profiles. My favourite character in the watchmen is Rorschach, a disturbed individual who wears a trench coat, hat and a white mask with black ink spots which move depending on the characters feelings.

What amazes me with this character is that he’s straight to the point! No Mona-logging like normal super heroes, he brakes fingers and then asks the questions! He’s more of a bad cop bad cop type then taking pity on criminals.

I like the way the artist makes him look like a mad man but half the time he makes good sense and figures any case out in the end. Also his appearance in the costume is unlike any other, instead of the horrible spandex that most super heroes wear.
Rorschach also has a gravelly voice as if you’re being beaten up by the pavement which makes this character even more interesting.

All characters in this movie have problems which make it different to every comic/graphic novel to be brought out so far, the way each of their stories is told is interesting like for example doctor Manhattan is a normal man but is blown to pieces in a horrible accident which he then becomes a blue creature which can bend matter into anything he wants, such as water into metal etc.

Here is a picture of the Watchmen comic which is out in stores and the Watchmen movie is out later this year so check it out!
