Even if you weren't all that thrilled with the Watchmen movie, there are still plenty of loving tributes to Alan Moore's classic graphic novel scattered throughout the webcomics universe. Perhaps none are as inspired as Scott Kurtz's "Ombudsmen" (mentioned previously), but here they are for your perusal:
- What if Watchmen was written during the Internet age? Head Trip takes a peek inside Rorschach's LiveJournal.
- Gunshow explains that just watching the watchmen isn't good enough, especially when you're keeping an eye on Baby Rorschach.
- The boys at HijiNKS Ensue try to replicate Dr. Manhattan's junk-transforming accident in order to get an advance look at the movie.
- Thinkin' Lincoln's cast of historical figures is reborn as the crew of dysfunctional superheroes. Too bad we don't get to see the second Queen Elizabeth as the second Silk Spectre.
- Medium Large uses an entire week's worth of comics to mock Moore and his crimebusting creations.
- F@nB0Y$ watches the watchmen...eat at McDonald's.
- Joe Loves Crappy Movies reviews Watchmen, but not before wondering if the other superheroes are bothered by Dr. Manhattan's...erm...lack of costume.
- The titular protagonist of Unwinder's Tall Comics is bald and blue, so naturally he has to flashback on his life Jon Osterman-style, including that time he went trick-or-treating wearing nothing but a hydrogen symbol on his forehead.
- The Ctrl+Alt+Del team agrees on an etiquette for bitching about Zack Snyder in the event that the movie sucks.
- Comic Critics imagines the horror of a faithfully adapted Watchmen video game. It's rated "W" for "What the Fuck?"
- Not actually a comic, but still worth a gander: Slate asks "What if Woody Allen had directed Watchmen?" and proceeds to do the same with Judd Apatow, Quentin Tarantino, Tyler Perry, Sofia Coppola, and Pedro Almodovar.
