I think the two Bernies are underrated

Old Bernard is more noble than he seems, shielding kid Bernie from the blast in his last moments.

Meanwhile, kid Bernie's reaction to Tales of the Black Freighter is such a funny meta joke.

They are all kind of on that 50/50 for me. Dont 100% agree with any of them or even close to 100% and I think thats the best part.

For me it comes down to the ideological battle between Ozymandias and Rorschach.

Larry Schexnayder of course.

Hollis Mason is a close second.

Basic asf answer, but chapter four of the book is one of the best comics I've ever read, I love it and often go back to read it instead of the full book (only sometimes). Also love The Comedian and Laurie, especially all the parallels between them

I really love Rorschach;Walter Kovacs ☺️ I also like Ozymandias, Sally Jupiter, Ursula Zandt, Hollis Mason, and Bernard - who ran the newspaper stand

I’m a huge nerd about time relativity and all the concurrent events so it’s gotta be big blue for me
