Ozymandias' plans for saving his world turned to have much worse ramifications than anyone could have expected and this is especially obvious in one of his new closest allies.
This is one of the rare cases where one event becomes better and better with each new installment.
Geoff Johns continues to tell the best story in career by exploring the past and the future of the Watchmen characters. The focus goes this time to the new Rorschach and how his origin is connected to the ending of Alan Moore's classic story, about how the arrival of the creature that Adrian constructed to bring peace to his planet ended-up bringing even more chaos to the people.
The character work is fantastic due that we see quite realistic take of what a traumatic event can cause to someone's psyche and how hard it can be to try get better when a mental illness is fighting against you. Not only Rorschach is a good example of this but this is also nicely depicted thanks to Mothman, one of the original Minutemen, and to be honest, while I immensely respect Darwyn Cooke (R.I.P.) and his work in Before Watchmen, I have to say that this is by far a much more faithful and powerful representation of the character, one that contains a surprising amount of nuance and emotion that I truly wasn't expecting from Johns.
Even Ozymandias demonstrates even more complexity than before thanks to the realization of his acts and that at the end, he turned into the monster that he always wanted his people to fight. All of this segments start to reveal the bigger picture and makes the upcoming events even more exciting.
Gary Frank remains a master storyteller thanks to his beautiful style and wonderful expressions that in many instances elevate the script even more.
Amazing read, going back to it later in fact.
