    If only the last few issues of Ozymandias had been this good. This final issue of the six issue mini series that charted Ozymandias's self read autobiography has pretty much everything you'd want from an Ozymandias comic.We begin with a shock death and an even more sinister explanation of it and then we lead right into the soon to be missing artist Max Shea.

    It may seem a small difference between this book and more successful issues of Before Watchmen, but it is an important one. While those issues either invented entirely new stories or portrayed scenes implied in the original Watchmen in an interesting, meaningful way (thereby illustrating that we didn't really know the things we thought we knew), this book just laces together things of which we already had accurate understandings. As such, this story is just a paraphrase of the original series and is one of the weaker installments of the Before Watchmen initiative. Read Full Review

    Watchmen project finally concludes this week, and the biggest disappointment of Ozymandias is that the world's smartest man can't inspire any original ideas. Len Wein is basically retelling parts of the original Watchmen here without adding any new codas or perspective. Read Full Review

    More of an explanatory conclusion that leads right into Watchmen. This book could have been called "Right Before Watchmen". Read Full Review
