Before Watchmen

Before Watchmen: Rorschach 1

Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre 1-2

Before Watchmen: Comedian 1-2

Clearly the weaker issues in the Before Watchmen miniseries; Past me quit buying these early on in their runs.  The Brian Azzarello issues (Rorschach, Comedian) are particularly weak.  They don’t suck or anything, they’re just completely generic and devoid of anything that makes them worthy of Alan Moore’s original masterpiece.  

Don't know how much of this was actually Lee Bermejo drawing, but the Barbara Ciardo colors are beautiful.

Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner do a better job with Silk Spectre, and it’s not the worst as a coming of age story.  But I still didn’t and don’t care enough to need to keep reading.

Not so bad that I’m going to cut them, but I may never read these again.

Regret buying: No

Would buy again: No

Would read again: Yes

Rating: Fine (Nice for Silk Spectre)
