Please note that this book is really only part of the Comedian's life story, mostly just the 1960's,and part focused the clearest on his character. His history begins in the 1940's in Minutemen, and that book tells of his time with the team and his expulsion, then his recruitment and first placement with the military, and how those events shaped him. While the book is mostly Hollis Mason's story, the Comedian features throughout it, and makes his final appearance in the early 60's, right about when this book picks up. Also, there are many important events of Edward's life related in the Ozymandias book, most notably their famous fight in the 50's while searching for Hooded Justice, and his discovery of Adrian's island plot in the 80's. Ozymandias' book ends with him kicking in Eddie's door. Given all this, if one wanted to experience the full life story of the Comedian from my episodes, I would suggest first watching Minutemen, then this episode, and then Ozymandias. He has one final appearance in Silk Spectre's book as well, in the mid 60's, but I have summarized that in the outro of this episode for convenience.

🤔 Can’t really say it changed my perception on the character much. But I do think 💭 there times he thought he was doing the right thing I don’t know 🤷🏾♂️ what that would be? He crossed the lines a lot almost like the costume & guns made him 😜 crazy at times. As a man he enjoyed life and woman in his own way but because of the pride he had for his daughter in the end. I think if he could have been more active earlier as father he would’ve definitely been a better person. 😎THANK YOU! For your time & efforts and quality of content enjoyed this video so much 💯

There are certain lines that I think really tell us why he is the way he is, such as "Life is a war. If you don't win it, you lose." and "I'm a superhero. I can do any goddamn thing I want." Eddie is, at heart, a fascist, in the purest sense. He truly believes that might makes right, because like Rorschach, he sees the world as a moral blank slate, with no actual morality to it. As he tells Bobby, "It's all about comfort. Fight it, and people will fight back" or some such, but his meaning is that nobody really cares about right or wrong, everyone just has the same human needs and wants to be comfortable and happy, whatever that means morally, and then they lie to themselves on top of that that they're better people. Eddie believes himself to be no better than anyone else, simply more honest with himself about it, and more accepting. So to Edward, the right thing is always serving his own side, America, and keeping their power as a check on the chaos of the world. This was an attitude shared by many Americans, I can tell you. We thought of ourselves as "the police of the world" for a long time there, it was very ingrained in our culture as our national perception. I think that's what Eddie really stands for, to us as readers, that honesty with ourselves and clear sight of the world is the one good thing we ought to take from his example. We should not admire him because he served America or because America was right, we should admire him because he fought for what he personally believed in, right or wrong, and that's the essence of personal integrity.

It is kinda my favorite of these so far, after Minutemen. But that's not really fair because it's a whole team and not a single character. I do think this plays the most cinematically, and it was designed that way. I just hope I carried out the artists' vision properly, it's all there for me on the page.

For convenience, here's a link to the song I did for the episode, The Wanderer by the singer Dion. He also did the better known Runaround Sue, which is a bit of a moral double standard, as The Wanderer glorifies his going town to town and having multiple girls while Sue condemns a girl for running around one town with all the guys, and I think that is the essential difference, because Sue causes fights between the guys she dates while the Wanderer just ghosts every girl he gets close to across the country or world. Both excellent songs though, and Dion was a bit notable for working with black musicians, not something every white singer of the time or every white venue was comfortable with.

I love The End Is Nigh, I have it saved on my 360 and I'll still play it. What you gotta do is just pretend. Like, any Batman game is almost a Nite Owl game, and any gun heavy game can be seen as a Comedian adventure. I like John Woo's Stranglehold from 2007, I have the PC port, and if you just ignore the story, the way the guns and the powers work is very much like I'd want a Comedian game to be.

@@user-fn5we8mr6b Well yeah I know, but you can give up on that EVER happening. There is no money in the property anymore, the HBO show bombing took care of that. Anyway modern gaming is something I gave up on years ago. I'm happy at the PS2/360/Wii level of tech and below.
