Before Watchmen: Comedian/Rorschach
Before Watchmen: Comedian/Rorschach | Brian Azzarello
2 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
The controversial, long-awaited prequels to the best-selling graphic novel of all-time are finally here: BEFORE WATCHMEN! For over twenty years, the back stories of the now iconic characters from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's landmark graphic novel have remained a mystery, until now. DC Comics has assembled the greatest creators in the industry to further paint the world of WATCHMEN, with this second volume starring two of the most polarizing anti-heroes ever, COMEDIAN and RORSCHACH. Eisner Award-winning writer and creator of 100 Bullets Brian Azzarello brings his gritty, nuanced storytelling to these two recognizable characters. In RORSCHACH, Azzarello again teams with superstar artist Lee Bermejo (JOKER, LUTHOR, BATMAN/DEATHBLOW) to illustrate how one of most dangerous vigilantes the comic world has ever seen became even darker. COMEDIAN, featuring art by J.G. Jones (FINAL CRISIS, Wanted), plants the famed war hero within the context of American history, as we find out how the Vietnam War and the Kennedy assassination revolve around him. Collects BEFORE WATCHMEN: COMEDIAN 1-6 and BEFORE WATCHMEN: RORSCHACH 1-4.

When I first heard about the Watchmen prequels, I thought Ohhhh Bad Idea. After reading this, I still think it was a mistake, but not as bad as I imagined. Brian Azzarello writes wonderfully gritty stories, and the art work by J.G. Jones and Lee Bermejo was excellent. 3 💥💥💥 1/2 out of 5.

Picked it up for Lee Bermejo's art, got a very good pair of stories about the most interesting Watchmen characters.
