Before Watchmen: Comedian #3 is an enjoyable read that treads more than enough ground to be worth your time. Recommended. Read Full Review

J.G. Jones' artwork is solid enough. The sense of mood and general level of detail are stronger than they were in issue #2. On the other hand, the page layouts are fairly bland compared to many of the other Before Watchmen books. This is one case where the decision to distance the book from the nine-panel grid format didn't exactly pay off. Read Full Review

The Comedian is beginning to turn into a bit of character study for the character. We're seeing him change somehow. We're at that point where he becomes more menacing, more wild and less caring. He's butting heads with those he probably shouldn't and there's a sense that his cock sure attitude towards who he is and how he fits in is about to change as a changing Amercia comes crashing down on him. Of course none of this is unexpected to those familiar with history or indeed the original Watchmen but that doesn't make it any less great to read. Read Full Review

This comic is a nice snapshot of a story for The Comedian. However, the story is very difficult to place in the larger context of the character in other comics. It's difficult to pull off a character that is so blatantly against rules and yet takes orders from Senators and has deep emotions when he sees a familiar face. The book is just not the best effort editorial nor in its execution. Read Full Review

I'm hoping that this series finds itself and gets interesting again very soon. Read Full Review

J.G. Jones' art is pretty awesome regardless of the issues I've had with the series. But the series feels like it is trying to find that magic moment that led Blake down the path that would eventually lead to him being tossed out his apartment's window. It just misses the point that Eddie Blake was this way from the very beginning. Read Full Review
