I kinda liked this one. It didn't stay from canon at all with the exception of solidifying Veidt as being at least bi-sexual, and not gay.

I liked Len Wein's writing and I thought the art was fantastic.

I don't know. It had the illusion of feeling like a classy book, but it really felt extremely unnecessary, with entire pages of writing lifted from the eleventh chapter of Watchmen, and even boring.

I quite enjoyed this book, yeah it was derivative... but that worked for the story Wein was trying to tell in these pages.

That's true. I'm harsh on a lot of these first issues, but they might get a lot better once they hit their stride and get introductions out of the way.

Still, it has to be said that a lot of these first issues still aren't especially strong in and of themselves. (Minutemen was great, though.)

I really wish I knew some people reading these that had only read the Gn once.

I've only read the GN once.

This one was meh. It was interesting, though.

Hmm, I hadn't considered that someone on this board had only read the GN once...

For me the main strength was Lee's art, I've been a fan of his since I first got into comics because of all the namor stuff I read, so it's nice to see a guy who's been in the industry so long still working at such a high level. I've reflected on it and I really feel like this one had the closest tone to the GN, mainly because of the way Wein aped Moore, but I still like it. I'd put this second behind Minute Men

Well, yeah, I was just gonna say, it's probably because entire pages of writing are ripped directly from the eleventh chapter of the GN.

Yeah, I can't argue that, but I think blending stuff like that works

Well, I liked this more than Comedian, but I felt the whole Miranda angle was

A) a little out of character
B) a bit of a quick way to get Veidt into costume
C) too short

I liked it as it gives us a glimps of Adrian. Well I just say: Moloch the drug dealer...that alone should be a reason to read it lol

I really liked this issue, because it sets up Adrian as an arrogant problem solver... which is pretty key to the GN.

Hey, I didn't care for this issue all too much, but that's besides the point because I just realized that the cover has nothing to do with the contents of the actual issue.

What the hell?

You JUST realized that? I agree that the cover should be expressive of the interiors... but what are you going to do?
