Chapter 7
Absolutely loving this approach of taking a character exploring their psyche and then including a relevant “excerpt” (usually metaphorical) at the end of the issue. Nite Owl is so well written, his yearning for the old days is so understandable, and well written. Gets me very excited for what is to come.

Chapter 11
So good, Ozymandias trying to mirror the journey if Alexander the Great is such amazing motivation. The twist “I did it thirty-five minutes ago” is just as phenomenal as it was hyped up to be.

I knew about Viedt being the one orchestrating everything already, but that doesn’t remove the mystery of why for me. I do think it’s super interesting his setup and the strategy he utilizes to profit in this world.

Chapter 9
Getting Laurie’s story is really compelling, and I can really feel her frustration as the story goes on with the revelation of her mother’s relationship with Comedian, and her frustration with trying to convince Jon that humanity is worth saving.

The prison break is so good. Rorschach reminds me so much of Moon Knight which I love. These characters are written so well I was distraught with what happened to Hollis.

Chapter 6
Walter Kovacs is an extremely interesting character. I like the inclusion that he was the End is Nigh guy I think that is really fun, but his backstory is horrific. Really hard stuff to stomach, i think it makes perfect sense that he would become Rorschach after discovering the girl who had been butchered and fed to the dogs. I love my mentally unstable characters.

Really so enjoy this world and the story being told. Rorschach is such an interesting, I have a soft spot for characters who are fucking nuts.

There is such a depth and mystery to a character like Doc Manhattan that is endlessly fascinating to explore. The idea of living in every moment of time is so interesting, yet still unimaginable for me and I love the thought of it.

The reveal of the negative effects of having Doc Manhattan around is very good, but even better is the consequences of not having him around. Just a wonderfully written character.

Chapter 2
Feels foolish to reiterate but the art, storytelling, and world-building is outstanding. I also live for the excerpts from Nite Owls book, there is just such great prose to them. I love the gritty reality of it all and how similar to our own world it feels. I have often heard that The Boys is peoples go-to for how superheroes would be in our world, but this feels more in line.

Chapter 1
The world building and characters are very well done and create such a great atmosphere for the mystery being setup. Also the artwork and writing is phenomenal and just makes each turn of the page worth it.
