Comic Vine: "I know some comic book fans consider these books to be comic book blasphemy and reading them makes you some sort of comic book heretic, but this book was awesome." 100 -- Click here for full review!
SuperHeroHype: "Before Watchmen: Rorschach is one of the best first issues of the entire run, and with next week's Dr. Manhattan series being the last to debut, it will be a while before you read anything on SuperHeroHype about the prequel series, but rest assured we've got more to say. While you wait though, go read this Rorschach book, it's damn good." 90 -- Click Here for full review!
Unleash the Fanboy: "Overall, Before Watchmen: Rorschach #1 is a worthy title with the Watchmen name. It’s a little disappointing if you’re expecting revelations from Rorschach and the Watchmen world around him, but if you want simply a Rorschach mystery, this comic will satisfy." 80 -- Click Here for full review!

What Culture!: "It’s a solid first issue for sure and I’m certain that this title is one that is going to work better the further we travel into the tale." 80 -- Click Here for full review!
IGN: "Before Watchmen: Rorschach delivers exactly what you'd expect when this creative team pairs up for this particular character. It doesn't break new storytelling ground, but it offers an enjoyable read that doesn't rely overly much on material we've read before. If any Before Watchmen book could be read and enjoyed with no knowledge of the original Watchmen, it's probably this one." 80 -- Click Here for full review!
A Comic Book Blog: "Solid story from Azzarello and drop dead gorgeous art from Bermejo. I really didn't care much for Rorschach's narration." 75 -- Click Here for full review!
CBR: "I'm certain the creative duo will add more distinguishing factors to Rorschach as this story progresses, and given the level I enjoyed "Before Watchmen: Rorschach" #1, I just might be back for more." 70 -- Click Here for full review!
Paradox Comics Group: "It’s only four issues so I’ll see it through, but everything I’ve seen so far indicates that there’ll be no surprises in store." 60 -- Click here for full review!
Crave Online: "While a fun story, the lackluster art and indifference towards Alan Moore’s original work makes Rorschach #1 little more than a money shill." 40 -- Click Here for full review!
