So here’s a difficult one – how do you write a review of a Before Watchmen comic without treading the same ground as everyone else on the internet? Reading the comic, let alone writing about it, appears to be sacrilege in some peoples eyes, so taking sides on the argument for having these books released is going to upset someone somewhere. At the end of the day, I just want to look at this as a comic – one single issue, outside everything else. So kicking things off, this week saw the release of Minuteman #1, written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke.

A couple of months back I wrote a review on the digital comic Avengers vs. X-Men: Infinite #1, heralding it as the future of digital comics and singing Marvel’s praises for being the first to think outside of the box with digital comics. The same week I also downloaded and read DC’s new Smallville comic, but didn’t review this because it would have probably consisted of me banging my fist against the keyboard. Repeatedly. This week however, saw the first in a series of original Batman digital comics, titled Legends of the Dark Knight, and since it involved 3 of my favourite people (Batman, Jeff Lemire and Damon Lindelof) I was pretty excited to read it.

With many big name panellists and some interesting announcements, here’s a run-down of what was on offer over the weekend.

On the subject of everyone’s favourite heir to Atlantis, I feel mightily conflicted. After enjoying the first two or three issues, mainly due to the excellently timed self deprecating humour, I found myself feeling frustrated at the pace the book was moving along at and therefore dropped the title. I’m crazy for Bendis’ Ultimate Spidey so I’m comfortable with heavily decompressed story telling and I have enjoyed books by Johns before. This leads me to wonder, is the problem with Aquaman or with me? Continue reading
