The controversial, long-awaited prequels to the best-selling graphic novel of all-time are finally here: Before Watchmen ! For over twenty years, the back stories of the now iconic characters from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s landmark graphic novel have remained a mystery, until now. DC Comics has assembled the greatest creators in the industry to further paint the world of Watchmen , with this second volume starring two of the most polarizing anti-heroes ever, Comedian and Rorschach .

This Comic books has the same failures as the previous before watchmen comic we talked about.

To be very honest here this comics has to be one of the weakest comic books I’ve read so far but at the same time I haven’t read that many comic books so far.

This comic book was very boring and uninteresting. At the same time it was very confusing because each chapter was different things it felt like the chapters had no correlation with each other.

And the characters felt like the authors of this comic book just doesn’t give a shit about them and they were just there to fix up the illustrations and dialogue in this comic book.

This comic book is also a good example of why prequels always fail. Because going back to the original storyline and trying to re-write details never works but what it does is to piss of the fans of the franchise which this comic books is very good at.

The greatest super hero story of all time is finally here! Acclaimed writer Mark Millar (“Wanted”) and award-winning artist John Romita Jr. (“Amazing Spider-Man”) unite for one of 21st century’s most outrageous and acclaimed series! Dave Lizewski is just an ordinary American teenager. He has a MySpace page, he loves comic books, and he is unable to find a girlfriend. Then an idea hits him: why not become a real life super hero? Soon, his life will never be the same again. Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman, “Kick-Ass” starts where other super hero stories draw the line, taking comic book realism to a whole new level! Warning: This title is for adults only!

To be fully honest I was never a fan of “kick-ass” neither this comics nor the movie. At the same time I haven’t read many comics but this has to be the worst comics I read so far.

The plot of this book is intriguing to say at least. A teen without any fighting skills decides to dress in mask and Halloween costume and start acting like a superhero at night because he is bored.

In my opinion the plot was very weak, and there were some logic holes like how will a teenager without any fighting skills save people ? The proper answer to this question is that he will not save anyone but rather get killed himself. 

The characters are pretty weak as well. But this is a comic book so we don’t get to know them in the same level as we do while reading a book.

This book is very boring and uninteresting. However the art in a way makes up for it. But not so much as to make me give this comic a higher rating.

This comics is very hollow to read, because other than the good drawings there isn’t anything good to say about this one.

In this final chapter of the epic outerspace series, King Ithaca and the entire government of the Cosmoralian Empire have been transformed into cyborg minions of a machine army determined to destroy all indigenous biological life. The King’s wife, Queen Lilia, and her son, the rightful Cosmoralian heir, Prince Jimsa, have become refugees in their own dominion, along with a band of resistance fighters, The Murats. The resistance effort is led by a healer known simply as “The Old Man”, who explains that the future of humanity rests in the messianic destiny of their leader incarnate, who will be known unto them by a red dragon-shaped birthmark. Meanwhile. knowledge surfaces that Prince Jimsa’s twin sister, Affle, who bears this birthmark, survived despite being ordered to death at birth by the Cosmoralian Empire because it was believed royal twins would presage doom.

This was my first manga and I gotta say that it didn’t go well with me. But for these manga fans out there I will be returning to manga some day in the future.

The plot here was weak and I suffered reading this comics. It might have something to do with me starting at the end and not at the begining with this series.

The writing in this comics was also pretty weak for me, it might have something to do with the translation but I’m not sure.

The art design here was good for the most part but I wasn’t the biggest fan of it.

The United States has become violently polarized. Political fanaticism divides an embittered populace. A recently elected President–an energizing symbol of change for some, and a harbinger of the downfall of America for others–stands at the center of the turmoil. It is 1865, and John Wilkes Booth is about to assassinate the President of the United States.

I gotta admit that it was pretty good but it didn’t engage me so that might be the reason behind the low rating. 

One of the major problems with this comic was the art style which made it very difficult to tell characters apart because they looked so damn similar to each other. And this made it very difficult for me to fully follow the story and the plot because I couldn’t really tell the characters apart. 

However I need to give the concept behind his comic points. Because it had a very unique take on the end of the Civil War. 

The characters here also felt very dry if you will. Because they felt like silly comic book characters.
