* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Dr. Manhattan and Silk Spectre show up moments after Rorschach and Nite Owl solve the crisis at Sing Sing, with Manhattan asking "if they can be of any help". Rorschach just comments "[[DeadpanSnarker Maybe five minutes ago]]".

* DownerEnding: Both parts in relatively bleak notes, with the heroes failing to achieve anything of real substance. In part two, the events of the story have permanently severed Nite Owl's and Rorschach's quasi-friendship (leading into their notably awkward and distant interactions in the film and graphic novel).
