The Minute of Truth, Chapter One: Eight Minutes; The Curse of the Crimson Corsair, The Devil in the Deep...! Part One last edited by nero999 on 05/26/22 10:29AM View full history

    Darwyn Cooke brings readers the tale of the Minutemen. Formed in 1939 by Captain Metropolis and Sally Jupiter, the team brought together some of the most well-known crimefighters of the era. But public glitz and glamor only hide the grim and gritty reality behind the masks.

    Before Watchmen: Minutemen #1 - The Minute of Truth, Chapter One: Eight Minutes; The Curse of the Crimson Corsair, The Devil in the Deep...! Part One by xangel on June 07, 2012

    From PureNerdNip writing for The Capeless CrusaderBreathtaking. Groundbreaking. Cinematic. The most important graphic novel ever written. All of these have been used to describe Alan Moore's seminal 1986-87 book, Watchmen, which perfectly captured the social anxieties of the day thru a critique on the core concept of superheros. So why on earth would DC Comics risk incurring the wrath of fans and the industry as a whole by releasing a series of prequel books chronicling the backstory of what wer...

    Before Watchmen: Minutemen #1 - The Minute of Truth, Chapter One: Eight Minutes; The Curse of the Crimson Corsair, The Devil in the Deep...! Part One by circularlogic on June 06, 2012

    Minutemen #1 brings us the debut of DC's Before Watchmen project, and of the titles announced I was most excited for this, which seems to be the general consensus of most people willing to give this event a chance. And this issue really gives them a good reason to put their faith in this project.Cooke decided to spend this issue setting up the cast in a rather simple way. Rather than counting on us having read the original graphic novel, he uses the frame of the original Nite Owl's book, Under t...

    Before Watchmen: Minutemen #1 - The Minute of Truth, Chapter One: Eight Minutes; The Curse of the Crimson Corsair, The Devil in the Deep...! Part One by darkdetective27 on September 07, 2015

    This is a review of Before Watchmen Minutemen issues 1-6. I think the Minutemen were the best ones for a prequel since they werent as fleshed out as the other characters. That is probably why this was so good is because it is able to escape Watchmen's shadow very easily. Darwyn Cooke's art brings a sort of Golden Age feel to the comic with his art and some of the emotional depth of Watchmen. The art in this comic is truly fantastic. The story deals with Hollis Mason writting Under the Hood and t...
