Before Watchmen: Minutemen/Silk Spectre by Darwyn Cooke

4.0

These books were met with a lot of controversy when they were first announced. The two series I was interested in the most were collected in one big hardcover book. So did put his on my Christmas list and immediately started reading this when I received it.

The first part in this book is the story of the minuteman written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke. And it was a great story with lots of twists. And all of it beautifully illustrated in Cooke's style.

the second story is the story of Laurie, the second silk spectre, written by Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner and illustrated by the later. She is the main reason why i did want this book. She is one of my favorite artists. The story is not as good as the story about the minutemen, but still a pretty good story. And the gorgeous art only improves this story.

This might not hit as hard as the original watchmen, but it is still among the best comics that are produced these days.
