I am not saying it isn't a milestone and a masterpiece for the comics medium, since it is, it's just the surrounding substance has gotten all murky. First it wasn't meant to be the grand epic that defined comics for decades, it was just going to be DC way to use the recently acquired Charlton Action Heroes and/or the Red Circle heroes. Second it is revolutionary due how it used the comic medium to it's fullest, the actual story was rather bland outside the 11th hour twist. Third the resistance to an expansion on the world of the Crimebusters is a recent occurrence. <br /><br />The last part is an important fact people forget. Up until the 90's there was always talk of a sequel and plus there RPG sourcebook that Alan Moore wrote for the DC RPG in the late 80's. The real reason that everyone is always hesitant about expanding the story with other books is due Alan Moore's issues with DC Comics. In another world if DC and Moore made nice you know there would have been at least one follow-up by now. <br /><br />Overall I am looking forward to the project, while I am not the biggest Watchmen fan it does look interesting. Also part of me likes the recent trend of fans getting pissy at DC and I wish to continue to support that. Plus more pirate comics, fuckin' eh.The Blue Sainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068533375215961251noreply@blogger.com
