Well, I gotta say this issue was pretty good. Finally, after six issues of this constant darkness, we have an issue with some light! Sure, it acknowledges the bad stuff happening in the World, but both Dan and Laurie being cheerful and real and being kinda hopeful makes me feel, well, a little good instead of feeling bad due to the previous stuff. It is a nice balance between both Yin and Yang that Alan Moore beforehand hadn't been able to accomplish, but through these two characters, he finally did the thing I wanted most from Watchmen, having some light in this dark, dark world. Other than that, usual thing with it having good art, good plot, most good stuff. Only critiques I have that pull it a 85 are the fact that there are some pacing more
A nice change of pace after the last two issues. Still Moore is having his cake and eating it too here with the fetishized superhero’s and what not. It doesn’t derail the story but the juxtaposition just seems off.
no one needs to write a comic book on what it's like being in your 40s
