So,I'm reading the O'Neil run of The Question and in issue 17 a strange moment comes up where the aforementioned character picks up a copy of The Watchmen and finds himself identifying with Rorschach. I find this interesting because, before Charlton Comics went belly up, Moore was going to be using their characters for his graphic masterpiece and The Question was going to be filling the role of Rorshach. After it went to DC something happened, I think DC probably didn't like Moores direction with the characters, and they became unusable.
I'm not entirely sure if it's an example of breaking the fourth wall but it is a cool example of things coming full circle. Although, if I dwell on it, I come to the conclusion that in the DC universe all Vertigo comics must exist as, well, comic books. This sets off the line of thinking that the Watchmen and other Vertigo universes must exist in DC continuity simply based on the fact that Jay Garrick, the original flash, is acknowledged as being a fictional comic book hero in DC continuity but is 'real' in an alternate reality.
Ow. My head.
Anyways, any of you guys have any interesting examples of breaking the fourth wall?
DeadPool is a given, By the way.
