Mason's inner-dialogue while writing Under The Hood explicitly refers to The Comedian by his actual name (Edward Blake). This is way wrong. It was never publicly known that Blake was The Comedian (hence Rorschach's discovery in the very first issue of WATCHMEN). It was never even indicated whether Mason himself personally knew who he was. In WATCHMEN only Dr. Manhattan (another government agent) and, of course, Sally Jupiter knew his true identity. And even if you make the case that Mason somehow knows his name too, there's no way it's in Under The Hood.
That's a pretty damn lazy flub, if you ask me. And a very bad way to get this whole project started. You'd think they'd go over this stuff with a fine-toothed comb given the shaky moral ground of this endeavor. But right off the bat they're not doing themselves any favors.
