Before Watchmen - Comedian #6

Before Watchmen – Comedian #6 was probably the best story of the series.  Unfortunately all we got was a retelling of what we already knew about the Comedian and his backstory from reading the original Watchmen series.  We already knew he killed him and now we knew he cried about it.  It says volumes about this Before Watchmen series that a simple recap issue is the best of the set focusing on this character.

Before Watchmen - Ozymandias #6 !!!

Before Watchmen – Ozymandias #6 was simply a retelling of the movie and portions from the original Watchmen comic book.  I was rather disappointed as after the last issue this could have been much more and better.  This was the last chance to do something good with the Watchmen universe and instead just did a basic retread.

The Comedian! Before Watchmen

Comedian #5 or still Before Watchmen is another blah blah blah blah blah issue.  All the Comedian does is talk about how good he is how smart he is how American he is.  This is just repeating the same old same old.  We know the Comedian is insane and actually a bad guy.  That is why his redemption in the original Watchmen series is so important.  But with a full mini-series I’m disappointed (again) that so much time and energy is wasted on covering the same material issue after issue.

Minutemen (Before Watchmen)!

Minutemen #6 is a long winded re-re-re-telling of the same story being told in all the other Before Watchmen Comics.  Nothing new happens, we learn nothing new.  This was such a disappointment.  I guess I will need to go back and re-read everything in this mega series once it is finally being done dragged out.
