Conspiracies and cults have been in the news a lot lately, and it only makes sense that they would spring up around the tragedies in the Watchmen world. Laura’s father brings her up in a militia atmosphere, training her to resist the mind control of the coming squid invasion. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so tragic, as he occasionally drops lines about having to kill her mother because she was being controlled by the squids. He trains her in gunfire, surrounds her with a motley crew of militiamen, and turns her into a coiled machine of murder in a way that makes it basically inevitable that she’ll find another predator and carry on his mission. The small-town atmosphere and the background of the unspeakable horrors that took place in the mines of Hanna, Wyoming, add to this chilling tale. I’m one-fourth of the way through this series, and I honestly have no clue where it’s going. But I’m intrigued to put it lightly.
