Comics: The Gathering - James Caudill
Jun 09, 2021I am really into this story and formula that the HBO series Watchmen set up and this comic fills in with the show. The show is set in the future of that universe and does it’s own thing within that world. This comic follows the formula and does its own thing. King has this and Strange Adventures coming out monthly right now and this by far is the superior book in my opinion. While Strange Adventures has been good for sure, this book is just so much better. I would highly recommend picking Rorschach up this week. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Jun 15, 2021On the surface, Rorschach #9 isn't as insightful as some of the other issues of this book, but King does a great job of investing it with meeting under the surface. It's extremely effective and subtle. Beyond that, this is just another chapter in a stellar mystery, one that ups the stakes that have been set up wonderfully and change everything. Fornes and Johnson's art makes the whole thing work. Rorschach is an impressive book that keeps trucking along towards a hard to foresee end, but if it's anything like what's come before, it will be great. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Jun 08, 2021With only three issues left, it's likely we're getting close to some even bigger reveals as this strange, brilliant puzzle box of a comic enters its last act. Right now, it's looking like the Watchmen-verse has a fourth classic chapter in the making. Read Full Review
