Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan #1 by John Higgins, Adam Hughes, J. Michael Straczynski

4.0

This issue takes us into the past, or what Dr. Manhattan calls his birth. We see alternate timelines of things that happened or could have happened. We also learn that the accident that supposedly turns Dr. Osterman into Dr. Manhattan didn't happen the way he thought it did.
