- A year ago in the pub, a friend asked writer Kieron Gillen what the big deal is about WATCHMEN. It got him thinking. This speech was the result of all those Kieron Gillen head thinks about that famous eighties comic with the smiley face on the front.
See Kieron Gillen wave his hands and fanboy out about comics formalism in an intimate environment. Topics include nine panel grids, structuralism in story, his own autobiographical transformation during a chance encounter on Oxford Street, the unanswered challenge of Watchmen, how he rips it off and yet more nine panel grids.
He also wears his second most expensive of skull jackets.

Amazing presentation!
I never realized there was so much subtext to what I already considered a great story.
I think I'll grab my copy and read it again.
Wow! Thanks for pointing out a bunch of things I never noticed! I need to re-read my copy tonight.
I've strongly believe that the writers of Mad Men are students of the Watchmen. Cuz they use juxtaposition just like its done in Watchmen.
Interesting.
Watching me just makes me even more frustrated that the watchmen are being forced into the dcu
32:33 i never realized this, amazing
This was great.
God please provide a transcript or subtitles. He talks way too fast.
Kieron nails it. Worth a watch, especially if you're into medium.
Ed Fortune surely you mean worth a read?
That as well
WRT to the denied appearance of Hooded Justice, in the back matter at least it's vaguely implied that he could be black. Looking at the coloring I can find on Google, the small amount of skin (eyelids) I can see doesn't look black. I'm not sure what the truth was meant to be.
In the HBO series at least, the hints in the back matter are made fact. It's a little tough to sort through updated wikis to find in which version distinct elements occurred.
This is brilliant.
So many people in an enclosed space, no masks, no distancing. That really used to be normal? This is November 2021, and it feels like a parallel universe at this point.
hopefully if we all get vaccinated, we can go back to that world sooner rather than later.
4:13 Three hours!?! C'mon. Did you read every third page?
10 minutes in and I do not know why I am listening to this guy or why he is talking so fast.
What issue of Miracleman is that picture at 07:43 from?
SSBBULTRALINKFAN Page 20/21 of issue #15, Nemesis.I'm sure you're aware, but it's currently being reprinted by Marvel. They just reprinted the last Moore issue and are about to head into the Gaiman years.
Preppy The place I soooo legally read the marvel reprint didn't have those pages... It ended with miracleman watching logingly at the wreck holding a skull ... :/ Thanks though... I'll wait when it's printed in my country...
+Preppy preppy? You're into watchmen too? That's awesome.
Yup. Thanks! :)
talking too fast
Eating too fast... Sleeping too long. What else? Jesus.
That really was very, very good.
