REVIEW: Before Watchmen – Minutemen #6 (of 6)
Or – “Still Can’t Believe What Last Issue Implied About Events Behind The Scenes…”
I have said over and over that I can’t understand why DC chose to do the Before Watchmen project, much less so very much of it. I just didn’t really see that there were that many stories left untold. Last issue very shockingly reminded me that there were at least a couple of things I hadn’t considered, but the jury was out as to whether that was a good thing. What’s the final word?

REVIEW: Before Watchmen – Minutemen #4 (of 6)
Or – “I Honestly Forgot That This Wasn’t Over Yet…”
I was very surprised to find this book in my pull list for the week. For the last couple of months, real world issues have caused me to focus on things other than my collection, and the weekly comics delivery has fallen somewhat low on my list. Generally, if I haven’t been reviewing it, I haven’t read it yet, and for some reason, my brain thought Before Watchmen to be over already. Is the general comic-reading public in the same boat as me? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
REVIEW: Before Watchmen – Dr. Manhattan #1 (of 4)
DC’s attempt at capitalizing on the success of Watchmen with the release of the prequel series has been successful in a purely monetary sense. Each new release has been, for the most part, a top seller, all the while receiving lukewarm reviews from critics and fans alike. Find out if the Dr. Manhattan outing breaks the mold of mediocrity after the jump!

REVIEW: Before Watchmen – Comedian #2 (of 6)
Or – “The Mood Is About To Change.”
Last month’s glimpse of Eddie Blake in the early 60′s was shocking in all the right ways, leaving our main character destroyed by the events of 11/23/63. The days of prosperity and hopefulness are ending for The Comedian, and more tragedy is lurking in his future… Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
