Tales of the New Frontier.

Taking a page from all the viral shenanigans accompanying The Dark Knight, the WB marketeers recreate Rorschach’s favorite mag, the New Frontiersman, for Zack Snyder’s forthcoming Watchmen. Hrm. It doesn’t seem nearly as right-wing as I remember. Must investigate further.

Update: As part of the site above, a March 1970 NBS news broadcast celebrates 10 years of Dr. Manhattan.

One thought on “Tales of the New Frontier.”

  1. Yeah, it’s definitely not shrill or paranoid enough, but I have to give it props for the ironic blue/red crossover joke (internal reference, Dr. Manhatten vs. Commies, external reference Dem vs. Rep). In my opinion, there seem to be surprisingly few ironic references as to how “Red” used to be “bad” and is now “good” (according to the right wing). Perhaps that’s because the right tends to be more obsessed with historical symbology than the left.
