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 – The Comedian #1 (of 6)

Or – “I Just Realized That He Was  Always Dead In The Original…”

The death of Edward Blake in the original Watchmen is the moment that catalyzes the story into action, and it is he who most represents the complicated mix of positive and negative traits that make all of Watchmen’s characters so fascinating.  Major Spoilers has the review of his new miniseries, can it keep up the goodwill earned by the first two Before Watchmen #1s?

REVIEW: Before Watchmen – Silk Spectre #1 (of 4)

Or – “My Favorite Watchmen Character…”

Laurie Juspeczyk is a problematic character.  She’s foul-mouthed, short-tempered, inappropriate, and highly flawed.  In short, she’s the everyman glue that holds the extraordinary sorts of Watchmen together.  While her story is reliant upon the other cast-members, the primary characters of the book become reliant upon her as well.  Can the incredibly talented team of Conner & Cooke get her right?
