Hey, look! It’s the Before Watchmen solicits for June, courtesy of MTV Geek. To very few people’s surprise, the books are $3.99 each (or digital download combo pack for $4.99, which seems especially greedy in light of Marvel’s new $3.99 for 20 page print comic plus online extras deal), but more surprising is that each one is apparently just 32 pages, which… seems odd, considering that each book not only features a lead story but also a Len Wein/John Higgins back-up. Typo? No ads in any of the books? Shorter stories? Hopefully there’ll be some clarification from DC before too long…
(Also interesting: Only four titles are shipping in June; we’re missing the Ozymandius and Dr. Manhattan books.)

I believe when they announced it they said it would be weekly book, in the spirit of Morrison’s Seven Soliders books. so we should only see 4-5 issues per month.
