It just feels a bit late to really do pre or sequels. perhaps a few years back when the movie hit, it would have had an amazing cross-platform/ new readers opportunity. That said, DC has learned a lot of cool things with the new 52. So they may surprise us all. I just wish they wouldn't have turned Captain Atom into Dr. M. in his new series. Turning an original character into the make-alike character inspired by him just seems a bit... meh? Doesn’t bother me at all.

But Moore still holds a grudge against people who aren't even at DC any more over some real slights perpetrated against him more than 20 years ago. Dave Gibbons has no problem with new material, so who's right? The fact that DC has waited 25 years to exploit The Watchmen with new material doesn't exactly make them sound rapacious.

Of you don't want it, don't buy it. Done deal. Me? Darwyn Cooke can illustrate a prequel to the V for Vendetta, starring Superman, and I would buy it. The talent on this project is too good.
