This feels like the closest this series has come to the tone and pacing of the original, offering a character-centric arc over the course of a single issue that fleshes them out while also building up a narrative theme that gets a nice cap-off at the end.

I am surprised that this issue is disliked by many people. I get that there is no "action" per se but it is still extremely important. This issue focuses on Reggie Long aka Rorschach. His life in Arkham Asylum, as well as his relationship with Mothman (Byron Lewis), can be observed here. I really really liked this issue because Rorshach has always been my favourite character in Watchmen. We also learn more about Batman's plans for Reggie.

In this issue we see the secret origin of our new story, it is told in flashback mode, at the other hand we can see the problems he's facing in jail.

As usual, I loved this issue.
I admit, I would've loved to see more of Batman, Superman and The Comedian, but I really enjoyed having a little trip in Rorschach 2.0's brain.
Holy crap is it messy in there!
I really like his back story, it actually makes more sense that he's chosen to become Rorschach now. I mean, the kid really went through some really tough shit!
I really can't wait to read the next issue and see more encounters between my favorite psychos- uh I mean Superheros!

Rorschach 2.0 gets an origin story, and it's pretty awesome. We finally get to see how Reggie came to don the mask, while witnessing his current incarceration in Arkham at the hands of Batman. This is totally Reggie's issue, with other events (other than Batman's bewilderment) completely left by the wayside. However, there's still 8 issues to go so plot progression shouldn't be a problem - yet.
Again, Johns gives us nice nods to the 'Watch-verse' of old, with Gary Frank continuing to stay close to Gibbon's art.
So far, we're 4 for 4 and I'm quite happy with that.

Probably not the best one so far. Yeah it's cool to finally see who is the new Rorschach and where he came from, but I was hoping for something more and to do an entire issue on that and just for that seem like maybe not the best choice. But still good and still want to go on with it, just not as awesome as I would have like!
