I did not fully understand this comic page until last night when I finished the Watchmen graphic novel. I guess I figured before hand that this might be a scene from a movie or something that I have not seen, but last night I was reading the part where Rorschach and Night Owl II were approaching Ozymandias where the same thing happened.
I was just reading, and suddenly I thought to myself that I have seen this somewhere before, and then I remembered that there was a Critical Miss comic just like this. Now that I have actually read Watchmen, I really think this comic page is cool. I guess it was kind of interesting before, but now that I know the reference I think it is totally awsome.
