Before Watchmen Minutemen #6 combo pack

I was very excited for all new WATCHMEN prequels coming out, but honestly, the majority have just been 'okay'. I felt like I was just going through the motions as every comic seemed to replay bits and pieces of 'classic' Watchmen scenes, and after the disappointing ending to Silk Spectre, I was expecting more of the same here.
6 issues later on Minutemen, Cooke gives us a pay-off. A spectacular ending that I didn't see coming. So glad I wasn't just treading water for 5 previous issues - if you're this far - stick with it. If you haven't tried it, this is the one worth trying...
