Well this is the only out of context comic panel I actually know, thus far.
It is also the first one I uploaded,so there is a 100% correlation :)
I actually just genuinely know this one. It’s in the movie!
Same here!
And me!
That single panel gives me goosebumps!
It’s like a 1 sentence sci-fi horror story.(also, why is that one dude on his hands and knees?)
He’s puking I think
“Dude, not on my shoes!”
He’s collapsing and turning away in horror.
And vomiting in horror.

Ok, I think I’m gonna need some context for this one, I’m actually pretty intrigued
Edit: thanks for the context! It all makes sense now. I’ve seen the movie a couple times in the past, just never read the graphic novel.
Here’s the scene in the movie adaptation with Billy Crudup playing the guy in the comic here. I 100% recommend reading the Watchmen graphic novel (the only graphic novel on Time’s Top 100 Novels of All Time list), but definitely worth seeing this part in motion.
As an aside, the one thing the movie did better than the book was Ozymandias’ plan and execution.
That’s a bold take that I don’t see many people take, who read the comics lol. May I ask why you view that?
Spoilers yadda yadda
Is it really controversial to say “framing superman as the threat we need to unite the world against to stop nuclear armageddon” is a better plotline than “I’m going to make it look like aliens attacked us, but in the goofiest way possible, with a plot device necessitating the existence of real psychics in a world that hitherto otherwise seemed to only have Dr. Manhattan as a genuine “otherworldly force””? Reading the graphic novels really threw me for a loop when that scheme was explained, lol.
You know, I don’t think in all my life, since reading Watchmen multiple times, I made the Dr. Manhattan - Superman connection. In hindsight it is a little silly lol. I think, I always just liked the visceral look of the squid, and didn’t look much further past that. Thanks for opening my mind!
Isn’t “The superman is real, and he’s American” a direct quote from the novel? Or at least one of those “additional blurbs” written from the perspective of the first Nightwing, unsure if those were “bonus content” or if there are versions of the novel with just the comics.
I always remember that as Wally correcting a talk show host saying, “I never said the superman is real and he’s american. I said G-d is real, and he’s american.” So, I guess I never associated it with Superman and more or less as, the super man.
Man that is fucking wild, the enshitification. Fucking November 14th is still not even over and it’s already a best-selling graphic novel and feature film.
You’re the real superhero.

It’s Dr Manhattan’s origin in Watchmen, chapter 4.
I believe this is from the Watchmen comic, where Dr Manhattan is attempting to rematerialize from being blasted by his own experiment.
best graphic novel I ever read
Bro forgot to put on his skin after leaving the house
As you do
I don’t turn around for anything once I’ve left.
Ha! That’s just Barry. Classic Barry.
Hahahaha The Watchmen! One of my favorite graphic novels.
