This is gorgeous, too. Although I should probably admit that I've never read Watchmen (I need to, I know), and have only seen the film a long time ago. *shame*
I love how Sally and the Silhouette are talking about horrible things in this really offhand way--okay, I love their dialogue in general--but there's depth to what they're saying (or what they don't say) even then. My favorite example is:
The Silhouette snorted, flipped the paper shut. “The Comedian,” she said, “he says that’s the kind of firepower we need. Us Minutemen, that is.” She tapped the butt of her cigarette out onto the table, swivelled a new one down into the holder. Looked sideways, again, up at Sally.
“No doubt,” said Sally. She paused. “What will you do,” she said, “now?”
