Did you know that the Street and Freighter comic only was introduced in the third issue? It is seen as one essential part but wasnt in the whole comic.

Kinda hard to tell. Squadron is Supreme is really good but quite different. I never read Quasar. Is it as good as Moores Miracleman or Swamp Thing or LoeG.

They early on hinted that Rorschach is Kovacs. Last panel we see him.

Than the next page, the first panel shows us Rorschach. That implies both are the same. But only when you already read the book you realize that.

No.

The claim that Squadron Supreme is better than Watchmen got me to read Squadron Supreme, but it was very clearly not as good. I wish people would stop making these claims, because then I go in expecting a lot and end up very disappointed.

Good point. It isnt better. It is as good as Watchmen. Thats like trying to argue as if Apples or Peas are better. Thats more a question of what you prefer. While Squadron Supreme covers more philosophical questions, it still feels more like Spider-Man. Watchmen feels deeper or more mystical, but when you compare it to Spider-Man it is clearly Batman.
DCs Vertigo versus Kack Kirbys Marvel way.

I found Squadron Supreme clumsier and more contrived (and Watchmen itself is very flawed), not to mention the inferior art (including character design and composition) and scripting. It's all around a less good comic. What people also may not realize is that Moore had considered Squadron Supreme when he worked on Watchmen, and the direction of Miracleman was also influenced by it.

The character design is perfect in Squadron Supreme. They are just your typical Marvel comic book characters.
But i can agree with the writing, watchmen is more wholesome and is thightly written like a Graphic Novel. While Squadron Supreme is much more written like a serial comic.

False.

Captain America
Quasar
Thor
Hawkeye mini
Spider-Woman
Squadron Supreme
Thats ok, but besides Squadron Supreme nothing that stands against Moores work.
