Panel 4: Again, we have an oversized panel to help convey
the drama and enormity of the scene. In
this instance, Dr. Manhattan releases his fortress from the red earth of Mars
in preparation for sailing across this world to share with Laurie the wonders
he sees there. This image – of the giant
clockwork fortress hovering just above the Martian ground – is juxtaposed
ironically with Dr. Manhattan’s dialogue – “[I understand] the gravity of the
situation.” He does understand the grave
situation of Earth, as pleaded by Laurie, and he understands how to manipulate
gravity so that he might sail across this red world in his clockwork fortress.
