Before Watchmen: Nite Owl #2

Nite Owl & Rorschach

This has too be my favourite issue of Before The Watchmen so far and I really like how Andy Kubert's pencils work with Jo Kubert's inks (who's have thought). Staczynski is also back on for with this series after IMO a disappointing Supeman and Wonder Woman run.

This issue sees Nite Owl and Rorschach team up initially chasing a bunch of thugs and stumbling in on a woman dominatrix and Rorschach lunges calling her a "slut" and "whore" Nite Owl throws Rorschach to one side and apologises to Rorschach later. We also see the back story of Nite Owls childhood and his relationship with the original Nite Owl. Later Nite Owl and Rorschach get back together to discuss a murdered prostitute case.

Final verdict. Best BW series yet and looking forward too the rest and the Rorschach one later in the month although I still don't see the point in the 2 page side story (besides to get more money)

Rating: 4/5

I felt he was whiny, and he felt so out of place in the dark and gritty universe that Watchmen seemed to be set up in. What Straczynski has done though is taken a character that I did not like, and made him my favorite Watchmen character. He’s close to surpassing Rorschach (whose own comic I have not...
