Thankfully the cult following it accrued has all but kept the fandom alive along with other treatments and now, to add, a live-action series coming to HBO this Fall with a story centered on new characters. Of course, fan favorite Rorschach is peppered all throughout, adding to the menacing and intrigue of what lies ahead.
