BEFORE WATCHMEN will be the collective banner for all seven titles, from DC Comics.

  • I am really looking forward to all of these...of course it will likely be expensive as there are a lot of miniseries. Which is your favorite? I am looking forward to Dr. Manhattan

  • I just re-read the Watchmen series a few months ago and it wasn't as good as I had remembered when I first read it when it came out, I found it a tough read. That said I am curious to see where they take this. Not sure i have a favorite so I'll pick them all up. At least they put some decent creators on them and not a bunch of nobody's.

    I dont think these books should have ever been written.

    but since they are, yeah i will read em. But Im not giving DC 1 dime. I will dl 'em or get them from the library as TPB.

    We all know Alan Moore is a nut but seriously - the legal manipulation he has endured would have probably drove me bat-sh*t too.

    Good for him for sticking to what he belives him.

    Good for Dan Didio and Jim Lee - they know what sells books (other people great ideas)

    Good for the American economy ( like I care)

  • Not even touching these...

    I feel that the first Watchmen series should be kept as is; no prequel or sequel...a good stand-alone read. In addition; the fact that Alan Moore is not even involved in this second series...well...it just ain't "WATCHMEN"...just my 2 cents

  • My first inclination is= BAD IDEA.
    Seems it's about the same as me deciding to write a prequel to the Bible.
    That said, I MAY give them a chance. But if they don't live up to Mr. Moore's classic, then I'm going to rage against them as loud as possible.
    I got suckered into some of Marvel's Fear Itself crap, so I currently have a low tolerance for the gimmick's of 2012!
