To late! The thread belongs here. Let's be thankful there is no new movie news.

An ordinary writer? Shill The Comedian? Ridiculous.

I'd prefer spin-offs more than prequels, but that may just be me...

Sure, I'd love to see the Comedian's war days, or the Minutemen prequel that we never got, but I still think spin-offs are the way to go in this subject.

Ha.

Anyway, yeah, I'm conflicted. I'd definitely like to read new stories about some of my favorite characters, but I do think that it could easily damage the integrity of the original source.


What exactly do you mean by spin-offs?

like, say, follow what happened to captain metropolis after the crimebusters failed. or more shit featuring the bernies.

Wouldn't those still be prequels?

aw hell, idk, i just don't think they should even bother with this stuff, we all know it's not gonna be that great anyway.

For shame, as a member of the Church of Scalped you should know that Aaron wasn't disrespecting moore as a writer, he was calling out moor the crazy old man. for those that don't recall Moore made some comments about how there are no good or innovative wrters in today's comics industry, that annoyed Aaron who is amongst a number of people writing comics that are breaking the molds of "men in tights" comics. Aaron, called out Moore saying that he was giving the industry unfair judgement and said he was done fretting about what Moore thought. And on that I agree, Alan Moore (let's be honest) has an ego (true he earned it, but still) and acts at times like he's the only good writer left, when we know that there are other people who are writing quality stories (Aaron for starters)

Hopefully, these don't suck and/or clash with continuity. But to quote every Star Wars character ever, I have a bad feeling about this.

Well, at least it's settled that they are prequels.

I wonder how DC is going to bring the fans into this when the official announcement comes.

They have to bring it up at some point. They'll probably say something like "This is what the fans have been waiting for," or "We think the fans are going to love this." It's going to be very telling what they go with and how they phrase it.

I'll be honest, I'm going to buy these... I know that makes me a bad fan, but come on Darwyn Cooke? I have to...

Also, I'm really curious as to what they'll do with it

In all honesty, I never expected this to happen. Not sure how I feel about it, but I don't think the LoEG example is appropriate.

No plans of including the characters on DCU?

I hope not, that would mean sequels, and we know they would be god awful.

Also, what good does it do if only three of them are left? There would have to be some weird shit going on for the Comedian, Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan to suddenly appear alongside Bats, Supes, etc.
