It was somebody tidying up loose ends...
Make no mistake, Before Watchmen: Ozymandias might just be the best-looking book DC prints today. Jae Lee makes Adrian Veidht into a bonafide badass, whether its going toe-to-acrobatic-toe with a gang called the Flying Tigers, or simply watching dozens of news screens in his arctic fortress.

Ozymandias continues to hit the necessary bullet points in the story, which may leave readers who focus on plot unsatisfied, but no one lays out a panel like Jae Lee. His art is fantastic, and worth the price of admission all by itself. Read Full Review
But again, the art makes this all worthwhile to an extent. Every one of Jae Lee's pages ooze with striking design work and a palpable sense of mood. Even if nothing terribly important is actually unfolding in the script, Lee's moody pencils and inks lend everything a sense of gravitas. Even compared to his various Dark Tower minis, this is career-defining work for Lee. It's a shame the visuals aren't backed up by a more compelling story. Read Full Review
Once again, we are left with a sense that the next issue is where the real insight in Adrian's plans will be revealed but I've been saying that for that last few issues with Ozymandias, so who knows? This title is always a good read but this one really felt like it was repeating itself somehow. Hopefully this will be the only filler in the miniseries and the last two issues will really shine.

Just stay away from this series. It could have been a lot better, but instead we got a generic series that doesn't add anything to the Watchmen universe. Read Full Review
