Before Watchmen!

What? Israel-Palestina is polarized? In Israel maybe.

I'm not sure if all you said was accurate. The world hasn't changed that much. Only seen the movie by the way, but I have an understanding of the themes and the world which the comic was set in.

You'd have to read the comic tbh, the movie doesn't really do a wonderful job at conveying what Moore did in the comic.

Alan Moore Comments Further On Before Watchmen And Entertainment In General

When is this series supposed to be released?

Anyone know?

Not sure, but I'm actually interested in a few of the titles.

Some recent new art:

Hopefully all of the interior art isn't New Frontier-ish.

As for when this comes out: "Summer 2012" is all I could find. 🙁

lol at the Moore hatred. It's his creation, he's entitled to be upset if he wants. Frankly, I kind of agree with him...this is pretty shameless. Nothing else needs to be written in the Watchmen-verse for it to be complete, but they're dredging it up for sales. If they cared about artistic integrity, they'd try to bring Moore back on or drop it entirely.

There is literally no reason for this to be made.

Can't believe they are doing this, nobody wants this comic. A Watchmen Prequel?! Come on!

Obviously somone suggested it in the DC boardroom and someone saw dollar signs.

It's about business and money, nothing else matters. So let's see if they are successful, either enough people will buy the books and they will continue or it won't make profit and they will stop. The majority should decide.
Sure one doesn't have to like what the "majority" likes but if they swallow the stuff someone like Georg Lucas spits at them, it's ok and I couldn't care less. I don't have to like, read or watch it after all ^^.

As for Alan Moore he does have a right to be angry, but the problem he just assumes no one can and will be able to top and or add to or fairly represent anything he does to the point he refuses to even give them a chance. So he doesn't actually know if the things were better It makes him sound arrogant and self-serving with a huge ego to boost.

I believe "Before Watchmen" has the potential to outshine its predecessor. THAT, in my opinion, is why Moore is so opposed to it.

F*cking hack. ermmnone

The art is incredible. Sure as hell I'll buy this.

I think I'll wait for the trade.

Alan Moore, you so crazy:

“This latest news wasn’t even really a surprise. I can’t imagine that if there was anybody of even average intelligence at DC, that they wouldn’t have ever wanted to bring out a load of substandard prequels and sequels… It would seem to me that in bringing out 35 books – even if these, for some reason, sell remarkably well; even if there are some people out there who are so undiscriminating that they are going to have to collect every one of these books – even if that happens, that is not going to generate enough money to reverse the comics industry’s rapidly declining fortunes. That’s not the reason why they’re bringing these things out. I don’t think that DC are interested in comics anymore.”

“As for the readers, I have to say that if you are a reader that just wanted your favourite characters on tap forever, and never cared about the creators, then actually you’re probably not the kind of reader that I was looking for. I have a huge respect for my audience. On the occasions when I meet them, they seem, I like to think, to be intelligent and scrupulous people. If people do want to go out and buy these Watchmen prequels, they would be doing me an enormous favour if they would just stop buying my other books.“

THAT ART!! 😱

I think this quote just insured I don't buy another piece of Moore's work again. The guy has the gall to tell people how to be fans?
