Before Watchmen: Rorschach #1 by John Higgins, Brian Azzarello, Len Wein, Lee Bermejo

4.0

Watchmen is a 25-years-old opera, complete in its own, majestic and epic. This series of prequels, however, is wonderful news, no matter how grumpy original author Alan Moore is getting about them. It's like a fanfiction — or better yet, a doujinshi — getting blessed and christened and that I can buy and put on my bookshelf. And the artwork by Lee Bermejo is stunning (except maybe for a couple of 'lazy' cityscapes in the backgrounds but man, that stuff's hard and tiring).

Four stars because it's really good stuff. Here's hoping I'll get my hands on the other issues in the near future.
