Watchmen and friends

Description

This groovy piece was imagined & drawn by my good buddy André, my modest contribution was to color it.

As every comics geek should know, the characters in Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons's Watchmen were inspired by Charlton heroes, The Sentinels of Justice, now part of the DC universe.
In this "Elseworld style" crossover, The Sentinels come face-to-face with their darker counterparts, The Watchmen. Probably it's one of those "..misunderstandings that happen when costumed crime-fighters meet for the first time.", dixit Adrian Veidt himself.

So, top to bottom, you can see : Nightshade vs Silk Spectre, Captain Atom vs Dr Manhattan, Blue Beetle vs Night Owl, Peacemaker vs The Comedian, The Question vs Rorschach, and finaly Thunderbolt vs Ozymandias.

André told me he used the covers to Avengers (vol.1) #70 & Justice League of America (Vol.1) #56 as references for this picture, & I believe him.

Just one little personnal comment : Was I the artist here, I would have picked the second Blue Beetle (Ted Cord) in place of his predecessor. Yep, it's always easy to criticize...! :D


Your comments are more than welcome, friends!! ;)
