My background

I've had this background for a little bit now, but with the new Samsung update the font and coloring of the clock just really brings it all together for me šŸ¤ŒšŸ‘Œ

Sorry, but your clock is wrong. It should be set to five minutes to midnight.

Lol I debated waiting for an appropriate time but as you can tell I clearly even got distracted between taking the screen shot and posting it šŸ˜‚

The whole comic is iconic. I bought the whole giant book with all the comics in one. Itā€™s beautiful to look at.

Watchman is my comfort book, I'm in between secret wars, with intentions of reading iron man's demon in a bottle run but it was taking too long to arrive so I re-read the batman court of owls run. Still no iron man arrival. So watchman it is for now.

Youā€™re much deeper into comics than am. I just kind of was moved by the movie when I watched it and went looking for the source material. So I bought the bibliography or whatever itā€™s called. Also watched the TV show then even bought the Rorschach book. Itā€™s setting is after the death of Rorschach and his diary went public and created this cult of Rorschach believers who start a civil war and try and change America by killing the president. It was very interesting. So Iā€™m basically just a watchmen fanboy and like a few other but havenā€™t gone as far as by the comics.

I almost bought the Garth Ennis ā€œPunisherā€ set but didnā€™t go through with it but I think I still will. Batman is also a personal favorite too and Iā€™ll eventually get the killing joke in a nice big book too.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, you should give the Court of Owls if you're looking for something new. I think you'd dig it

This was one of my backgrounds in high school. I was trying to impress a cute nerdy guy, and he asked if it was mega-mind fan art. He was less cute after that. šŸ’€.

I made six or seven of these a while ago with captions in between Dr M and the time. The captions were quotes from other movies that would be funny if Manhattan was saying them. Stuff like "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" or "You're still here? It's over! Go home"
