Reviews for Before Watchmen Omnibus (GN)

BEFORE WATCHMEN has been an unqualified success. -Mtv Geek Azzarello is a perfect fit to give someone as unbalanced as The Comedian a back story. - Huffington Post I should have realized that if there was any writer able to take a genuinely bad person and make him endearing, it's Azzarello. -IGN
