RORSCHACH #3 is ambiguous and strange. It's so open to interpretation it feels just like a Rorschach Test. This creative team is experimenting and pushing themselves to new territory! Read Full Review

King writes a fascinating script that just seems to get deeper and more intricate with each new issue. Jorge Fornes has really come into his own as an artist on this series as well. The images he conjures are truly something else. Read Full Review

Rorschach #3 is a great comic. This issue very much feels like an issue of Watchmen in the way that King tells the story, using metaphors and playing with what the audience knows and doesnt know. This book is a wonderful little piece of storytelling that asks some very important questions and demands that the reader pay attention to everything. Forness art allows the whole thing to hit home. King and Fornes are building something interesting here. Read Full Review

I'm one-fourth of the way through this series, and I honestly have no clue where it's going. But I'm intrigued to put it lightly. Read Full Review

Rorschach #3 is a great issue that shows us the making of a monster with Laura Cummings, but at the same time presents a torn conflict -- if you had lived through what that family did, could you see that as normal? Looks like our main Detective might be considering that now too. So watch our for the Squids as you enjoy the beautiful art inside. Read Full Review

I dont know if Tom King made a secret pact with Alan Moore, but this book was absolutely fantastic. Forns and Stewarts visceral art only helps to elevate a well written story that had me on the fence, but managed to pull me back in. Tom King and his team have managed to get me invested and hopefully future issues can keep up this high quality of work. Read Full Review

It's strange to question why a book exists and also really like it. We don't see why this is a Rorschach story yet, without the real Rorschach, but I'm still very much enjoying it. It tells Laura's story and it was a pretty damn good one, and I like how you get strung along to gradually realize how extreme her father's paranoia really is. As usual, the feel of the art fits naturally with the feel of the story. I recommend the first three issues of this book. Read Full Review

That means this was the weakest issue so far in the series, but as always with King, it's about the long game so it might take a few more issues to see if this was the turning point of the series or just another useful step in the destination. Read Full Review

Diving deep into minds that have traveled over the edge, does this book entertain and help us converse, or is it part of the problem? Read Full Review

King is slowly revealing a mystery here, but I'm not sure if anyone is going to care by the time he gets to the real meat of it. Read Full Review

This does the whole radicalization thing that Punchline tried to do, but better. But I guess Punchline was going for a newer, internet addled sort of indoctrination, versus this more classic form of it. But still this did it better. Again, I try not to think of this comic as something related to Watchmen, and I find myself enjoying it. I feel like that's how this book should be read.

This comic keeps surprising me!

Very good.

The third issue finally sheds more light on one of the main characters of the drama. King still does not give us answers to where everything is going, but we get to know the next pieces of this puzzle. Will the plot make sense when we get to know all its components? May it be so. Now, still at the beginning of the reading journey, "Rorschach" is still very intriguing.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I am missing a layer or three in this one, but the part that stuck with me was the aftermath of the trauma of Ozymandias' squid disaster - even as far away as Wyoming. The ensuing craziness has so many parallels to how America reeled after 9/11. It's profound and really quite sad, showing us how we often internalize the wrong lessons.

Not really sure where this title is going - if fan observations about Tom King are true, I bet neither he nor DC know either - but the vignette presented was worth the read.

Fornes' art is fine in service to the story, offering homages to Gibbons without doing so slavishly. There's a "Watchmen style", and he does it well.

Heroes in Crisis, here we go again!

Oh look it's Merlyn, the antisocial guy who thinks DC has a vendetta against White people because of a book that John Ridley wrote. How does it feel sucking the skin clean off Ya Boi Zack?
