Hmmm... What was the point of all that? To give these two characters a little bit more background? Hmmm... I didn't get it. I would have preferred reading more about Rorschach or Mr. Manhattan; at least those two characters have more depth to them than Dan and Laurie.

Ya se acaba el año! Me despido del 2020 con un cómic. Y vaya cómic! Watchmen, nada menos. Concretamente, el número 7.
En esta entrega toma mayor protagonismo Dan. Básicamente la historia en este tomo en concreto podríamos decir que gira entorno a él. Él, su pasado, sus viejos sueños...
La verdad es que poco puedo contar porque sino os spoilearìa mucho. Es lo que pasa cuando llegas a estas alturas de una saga. Digamos que, para que no salten alarmas de spoiler..., pasan cosas interesantes

The 7th issue is focused on Laurie Jupiter/Silk Spectre and Daniel Dreiberg/second Nite Owl.
So far, my impression is that Laurie’s entire existence is based on her two male love interests, and this is even admitted by Alan Moore in one of the character studies, where he points out that he hasn't thought much about her as a character outside of her relationships. Disappointing...
Previous to the story, there is a study by Alan Moore, in which he describes some of the main characters of Watchmen, and what he hopes to achieve with them. He goes way deeper into all the male characters backstory and characteristics and when he gets into -in his words- the only female main character, he writes that he hasn't thought much about her outside of her involvement with Dr. Manhatan and being a plot device to provoke and compare his sexuality and how he sees the world.
I was annoyed by this and it hindered my enjoyment. I cal also see that this will impact how I view the overall series.

Full review on The Watchmen #1-12.
Dan and Laurie's turn. I thought it was intriguing but slightly awkward.
