I enjoyed the previous two Before Watchmen installments, but Comedian #1 is absolute garbage. I have never said that about anything I've ever read or watched before. In no way did it convey the spirit of The Comedian from the Watchmen, and instead read like some political love letter to John F Kennedy with more than a little repressed homo-eroticism (which I'd be fine with were it intentional). The author of this branch of before Watchmen either needs to be replaced or needs to actually read the source material. Until then, I'll be avoiding any of his work.
