Before Watchmen: Rorschach #1

johnkmccubbin91's Before Watchmen: Rorschach #1 - Damntown; The Curse of the Crimson Corsair: The Evil That Men Do, Part One review

Finally

This is the series in Before Watchmen that I have been waiting for and I wasn't let down. It was brilliantly written by Brian Azzarello who really seems to understand the character whilst putting his own mark on it, and it has shown my favourite artwork in the series from Lee Bermejo who's art work is just a masterpiece.

The story starts the way it should, with an excerpt from Rorschach's journal. We see Rorschach torturing information out of some drug dealer who tells him the stash is in the sewer. When there he tries to take some out quietly but is then ambushed by the rest of the gang an beaten up. There is also another murder story going on in the background which should be interesting.

Final verdict. This is a great start to a series and what I expected but haven't really seen in Before Watchmen so far. If you were only to get one series out of this I'd recommend this as it has the best story and art so far.

Rating: 5/5

Anyone who has a concept of who or what to expect should not be disappointed from the true watcher of the Watchmen. From modern day prophet to a hard-lined hangman, Rorschach maintains gloriously true to form (yes even if your only interpretation was presented by the Zack Snyder film). From page one we are painted with the sheer inhumane brutality to which Rorschach...

Review:Besides NiteOwl and Ozymandias, Rorschach has got to be my most favorite character in the Watchmen universe and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. His dark nature towards criminals, fine detective and brutal fighting skills, alienated personality, and a strong belief of Black (Evil) that must be punished and White (Good) to protect is what drove the character and what made him so appealing. Even when the odds were stacked against him and at the face of death, he never compromised. When...
