Yup, what I figured. Which is why I won't get within 100 feet of this garbage.

Everyone involved here is going to show Alan Moore how to do these characters by "making them their own". Yeah, right.


We get it. You don't want to read them. No one gives a shit.

Every post of his lately is about him not wanting to read these comics.

Are you referring to my post on how to tour the New York backlot through google maps? Or my recent post pointing out some easter eggs in the new anthology I've got a story in? No crappy prequel mention in those RECENT posts.

Seems someone doth protest too much.

He probably only means your posts in the Watchmen prequel comics section.

While I'll still buy and read them,
this article was certainly disheartening.
I've lost a bit of hope that this will be really good.

Well, what I can gather from that article is that the original ending becomes more ambiguous... isn't that the point?

I will admit though, this is a vague article and we won't know for sure until we crack open the books... so I'm going to pass judgment to wait.

Well the only thing that really bothered me...

I’m told that JMS’s version of the Comedian may be rather controversial in that it’s a very different take on the character,
that neglects certain established aspects of the character for a fresh approach
that will, and I quote, “people’s minds are going to explode”.

I'm on the fence on this... which aspects?

This is what I wanna know. Whats wrong with not neglecting certain aspects of his character?
Do they have to neglect at all?

Saying "our shit is cool" is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
So that last quote, I don't even pay attention.
The "NEGLECTING" bit is what catches my attention.
I don't like the smell of it.

Especially considering JMS (as well as Quesada) is responsible for One More Day...

At the very least I'll be picking up the Rorschach series. That art is insane.

Have you read Joker or Batman: Noel? Those are drawn by the same artist, if you're interested.

I think it was a given that the art would be fantastic given the talent involved. I'm looking forward to these, but the images don't really make me anymore hyped than I was.

Okay, so I'm sold on the artwork. But then, it was always the writing and the story that were the salient points in this matter.
