Ratings and reviews

The plots are good. Characters are relatable and understandable. Artworks look nice. This is a true prequel of The Watchmen's Saga and surely not everyone will like it. But I love it and add it to my Library Shelves right here on Google Books. (^_^)d

More of a comic book and less of an experience than The Watchmen. It's still a good read for fan of the original story.

Great art and story.
