The comparisons may go more than skin deep. The three circular dots were used for promotion, part of the logo and repeat within the first issue. Some saw them as representing different realities, and it may well go there. But the three dots signify something more. Often something that is “to be continued…” and are known as ellipses. It is notable that one of the lead characters, who works in a comic book shop and dresses in cosplay, making her even more of a social pariah, is also called Ellipses. Which is a pretty Watchmen-like thing to do.
