Before Watchmen Series: Ranked From Worst To Best
Before Watchmen has come to an end (well, maybe, theres talk of a One Shot 'Epilogue' on the way to truly wrap up the series but with the gaps in the release schedule for this DC Comics event, I'm not waiting around for it). When first announced we all let out a gasp, shocked by the news that DC Comics would have the balls to go back to Watchmen, without the series creator Alan Moore on board. Alan Moore commented publicly about his indifference towards the new series and DC Comics' lack of fresh ideas and even Dave Gibbons hinted that whatever is in the pages of Before Watchmen isn't really considered Watchmen lore. Then, slowly the writers and artists of the new series got their say and artwork trickled out for the lazily named Before Watchmen event and bad feeling started to turn into intrigue. Could this actually be good? It would be good to hang out with Rorschach again wouldn't it? See more of the Minutemen? Find out why Silk Spectre is so narky all the time? The intrigue set in and as the first issues rolled in fear of disappointment slowly turned into relief because, yknow what, these Before Watchmen comics were pretty good, some even great. So here we are at the end of the Before Watchmen run. All of the mini series have ended, theres been a few extra One Shots and mini titles thrown in and now, despite huge gaps in the release schedule, were at the finish line. This week Comedian #6 finished the run and now its time to look back and see what worked and what didn't. Behold, Before Watchmen The Mini Series countdown from worst to best and then the all important final verdict. Was DC Comics' biggest gamble to date work out or was it a total failure? Here we rank the series from worst to best;
