Picking this up, can't wait. Rorschach might be the only character I liked a lot in Watchmen.

This looks great. Loving the art.

looks EPic !

Hopefully it won't be utter wank like the rest of the "Before" series.

When I read Rorshachs dialogue, I keep hearing Jackie Early Haileys voice from the movie

Rorschach, man. Just one of my favorite (or only favorite) Watchmen member and DC character. He's bad@$$ all over. :)

Stay EPIC, my friends!
TheAmazingSpidey63 - 8/14/2012, 4:26 PM
@ibravosp5 - Same here, dude. That man was born to play as Rorschach. He nailed that performance. :)
Asterisk - 8/14/2012, 4:27 PM
...I don't know. That doesn't really sound like stuff Rorschach would say. And this is coming from somebody who's read the original novel 15+ times, and regards it as the best comic book ever made, and my personal favorite novel.

I've enjoyed these prequels so far (for the most part), and I love Azzarelo's stuff, (100 Bullets is awesome) but I'm still iffy on his portrayal of the character. Rorschach doesn't say bitch. Sorry.
TheAmazingSpidey63 - 8/14/2012, 4:27 PM
Oops, for got this one.....


Boom. :)
Julesimanerd - 8/14/2012, 4:27 PM
this is a dumb complaint i know, but Rorschach cursing is weird....like throughout the whole Watchmen series, i don't recall him cursing. just seems kinda out of character that he'd say "wheres the shit at?"
scmittydude - 8/14/2012, 4:30 PM
@ibravo, makes sense, since Jackie used the voice he heard in his head when reading the book
Asterisk - 8/14/2012, 4:31 PM
Like I said, Rorschach doesn't curse. He doesn't do it once in the book.

Also, I imagine this is after the little girl's kidnapping? Or else it doesn't make sense for him to be using fractured sentences and have the askewed speech bubbles.
CaptainObvious - 8/14/2012, 4:46 PM
I don't like the idea of Rorschach cursing, either. It seems very out of character. He doesn't need to curse to sound intimidating.
undeadavenger - 8/14/2012, 5:17 PM
I'm not really feeling some of dialogue.
oldnoname - 8/14/2012, 5:34 PM
that first page looks so sick. Very cool cityscape
wyatt1234 - 8/14/2012, 5:39 PM
one curse word isn't ruining this for me. Artwork, and writing so far look great. And i honestly love the Nite Owl and Minutemen comics.
Oxbow - 8/14/2012, 5:43 PM
go back and read the source material again, azarello. I am cringing @ Rorshach cursing...where my bitches at? lol
maxxgone - 8/14/2012, 6:33 PM
i'll agree with everyone else who isn't feeling the rorshach cursing. it's out of place and completely unnecessary.

i was excited about this duo doing rorshach after the joker GN. but now i'm wondering if they are just going for the violent shocking stuff. which is only a piece of what rorshach is.
poop23 - 8/14/2012, 6:53 PM
The art is good, not sure bout how the story is going to be
prettynuclear2 - 8/14/2012, 9:03 PM
well this writing is terrible
TheAmazingSpidey63 - 8/15/2012, 12:09 AM
Now that you guys are mentioning it, yeah, it's pretty....strange for Rorschach to use such vulgarity. I mean, I haven't read any of the Watchmen comics, but Rorschach swearing.....isn't his character. I don't know. :/
CoolantTech - 8/15/2012, 12:42 AM
Great Character this should be pretty sweet!
OrsonRandall - 8/15/2012, 2:48 AM
Not feeling the dialogue either, doesn't have Rorschach's tone no matter how much I want it too. Been really looking forward to this and Manhattan too.
spiralblitze - 8/15/2012, 3:27 AM
i read this in Jackie Earle Haley's voice from movie
Bandrews1 - 8/15/2012, 5:22 AM
It looks like they saved the best for last, since Rorshach is the best character out of Watchmen. Can't wait for this.
Ancar - 8/15/2012, 6:34 AM
Everything I read on Before Watchmen is great! Can't wait for Rorschach.
NorrinRaddical - 8/15/2012, 6:35 AM
HORRIBLE dialogue
