Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre #1 by John Higgins, Len Wein, Amanda Conner, Darwyn Cooke

3.0

This was decent, though some of the little inner monologue animations were not at all what I'd consider Watchmen-like, and rather felt like something you'd see in manga. I'm not sure if the Cooke was attempting to add some camp to the series or what, but I could have done without those bits. The story is fairly standard mother/daughter angst, and certainly keeps with traditional in having them clash, particularly in the way teenagers and their mothers do. I suppose it all felt a touch light to me is all, but maybe all these Before Watchmen will feel that way.
