Before Watchmen: Comedian/Rorschach by Brian Azzarello

1.0

Much as I'm very much in the camp of people who thinks Watchmen can't possibly say anything more than Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons let it say, I didn't hate The Comedian's chunk of this book and found the character more or less in keeping, if nowhere near as smartly written, as the original.

But all goodwill I had for this book faded with the first two pages of the Rorschach chunk of the story. I can't remember the last time I saw a character so butchered. Disastrously out of character with seemingly no understanding for what the character is meant to represent. I can't believe I managed to finish it.
