What in life, does not deserve celebrating? Answer: Watchmen prequels.

Quote:

Under its DC Comics banner, DC Entertainment is reviving characters from the beloved and seminal graphic novel Watchmen for seven prequels collectively titled Before Watchmen.
The comics will feature all of the heroes � and anti-heroes � who writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons created in the 1986-87 Watchmen series, which was later collected as a graphic novel. Those characters will star in miniseries by some of the company's top writers and artists, including:
�Rorschach by writer Brian Azzarello and artist Lee Bermejo
�Comedian by Azzarello and artist J.G. Jones
�Minutemen by writer/artist Darwyn Cooke
�Silk Spectre by Cooke and artist Amanda Conner
�Nite Owl by writer J. Michael Straczynski and artists Joe and Andy Kubert
�Dr. Manhattan by Straczynski and artist Adam Hughes
�Ozymandias by writer and original Watchmen editor Len Wein with art by Jae Lee
Issues will be released so that there will be a new one every week, and each will include two pages of a separate, continuing backup story, Curse of the Crimson Corsair, by Wein, with art by Watchmen colorist John Higgins. A single-issue Before Watchmen: Epilogue will also be a part of the prequel series, featuring several of the writers and artists involved.

The only hope I can cling to is that Azzarello's Wonder Woman is outstanding.
...So really, no hope at all.

On the one hand, yeah, I don't particularly think Watchmen is a franchise that needs reviving.

On the other hand, every single one of those writers has written something I've enjoyed, so they're not exactly handing it over to Rob Liefeld or anything.

I dunno. I will remain cautiously optimistic about this.

I wish I could hate this harder, but Darwyn Cooke.

Oh man you guys I can't tell you how upset I am by Curly's decision to poke himself in the eyes AND THEN bop himself on the head

What's that? You expected me to stretch my arm out, hand facing upwards, then bend my elbow, simultaneously lowering my head to bring my forehead into contact with my upraised palm?

You fool.

I already did it thirty-five minutes ago
