This issue is a VAST improvement over the last one! That's the best thing I can say really. Connor and Cooke seem to wanna recapture the panel placement of the 60s. By that I mean there are multiple panels on every page instead of just a few. It's fitting giving the time period the story takes place. It was bad in the last issue cuz that issue was really boring. Here it helps the story move along quickly as well as leave you beggin for more!
As he did last week with Minutemen, Cooke once again proves to me that he can write a great Comedian. His appearance in the story was a welcome addition from the Watchmen mythos and put a smile on my face when he looks over a sleeping Laurie.
This issue gets inside Laurie's head a lot. We see her pining for Greg while he's colored Blue (I guess she's got a type) and without even realizing it she's given a unique perspective on Jon's life years before she will even meet him. Also, her turn as the hero at the end was much needed and proved to me that this story is among the better of the Before Watchmen stories.
