Panel 4: The comment regarding the falling cogs in
1945 that “it’s too late, always has been, always will be too late” is an
appropriate description of Dr. Manhattan’s life to this point, and is also a
foreshadowing of what will happen with the heroes’ attempt to stop the
conspiracy come the end of the story.
Panel 5: The Nodus Gordii Mountains, an actual
mountain range on Mars, translates from the Latin to “Gordian Knot,” yet
another symbol of the problem before these adventurers and another symbol of
who is ultimately responsible – the man in the present patterned after
Alexander the Great who cut the Gordian Knot, Adrian Veidt.
