Let me just get this out there; you don't need this book. It's not the best of the "Before Watchmen" line, and does not add anything to the other titles. That said, I really enjoyed this book. Dollar Bill always struck me as a regular joe who tried to do some good and got a raw deal. I was glad this issue didn't try to convince me otherwise. He's a former athlete who becomes a corporate mascot because he needs some cash, joins a group of vigilantes, and dies because he tried to be a hero. I let myself fall into the story, so there were a few moments of goosebumps when he'd take out a group of thugs and striked a pose. Even with the content and the character, this comic reminded me of those classic heroes who were just good guys trying to make a difference. It was refreshing to see that kind of thing again. Not that Dollar bill was the greatest guy on earth, but I thought he was nice enough. I also enjoyed the characterizations of the side characters; the quintuplet bank managers, the other Minutemen hopefuls. I'd recommend this to anyone else who got all the other "Before Watchmen" books and just wants the whole set.
