    Before Watchmen: Nite Owl #1 - No Such Thing as a Free Lunch; Curse of the Crimson Corsair: The Devil in the Deep, Part Four by odysseyuwrf on June 27, 2012

    So far I have only read Minutemen and Silver Spectre, and this one was my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I thought Minutemen was great, and cannot wait for the rest of the series, but this was one of the titles I was really looking forward to.Dan Dreiberg was portrayed as an over weight worry-wart in Watchmen. He looked more like a fan boy at ComicCon than an ex-masked avenger. In the flashback sequences he showed some of his promise as a vigilante, but we did not get to see too much of it. When ...

    Before Watchmen: Nite Owl #1 - No Such Thing as a Free Lunch; Curse of the Crimson Corsair: The Devil in the Deep, Part Four by capelesscrusader on June 29, 2012

    As one of only two "legacy" characters in Watchmen, Dan Drieberg has always held a certain special fascination for me. In Alan Moore's original, Dan is the everyman, he is us. He is disappointed, yet powerless to effect change. He is endowed with tremendous gifts, both physical and mental, yet lacks the confidence to put them to use. He is the spirit of optimism that has been crushed by the unbearable cynicism of the era in which he finds himself. Of all the characters in the original work, Dan ...
