The second episode of Warner Bros.’ Watchmen motion comic will debut next Tuesday on iTunes, followed by the third chapter on Oct. 20. The first installment launched in July.
Future episodes will debut every two weeks.
Announced during Comic-Con International, the motion comic is part of a larger initiative by Warner Bros. to deliver DC Comics properties via the Internet, mobile phones and video on demand. Of course releasing Watchmen, chapter by chapter, in hybrid comic-animation form also helps to create buzz for Zack Snyder’s movie adaptation, which is set to open in March.

One wonders if they’rve chose to hire more people, or if every character will be voiced by the same limited-range fellow from last time

Man, DC is trying as hard as they can to test Alan Moore’s whole “they can’t ruin my comics, they’re right there on the shelf like I wrote them” theory, aren’t they.

’bout time! It must be on the same schedule as All-Star Batman & Robin.

I loved the first episode, wonder if the delay was caused by the Fox lawsuit?
There’s a (okay, my) very positive review of the first episode here at Tilzy.TV.

I thought the animation style was interesting. The Narration was ok, the voices again werent awful until the dude did Laurie that was just nasty. They should’ve got different voice actors to play the parts.

Because the easiest way to ruin one of Moore’s comics is to read it out loud word for word. Wait, what?
