Storyline
In an alternate United States, beginning in 1939 during the fading Interwar period, a team of costumed crime-fighters is formed – the Minutemen. While most heroes like Daniel Dreiberg ( Nite Owl II ) and Laurie Jupiter ( Silk Spectre II ) retire, Doctor Manhattan and the Comedian become government agents, and Rorschach continues to operate outside the law.
