Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard's Unauthorised Sequel to Watchmen, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt, Gets an Oversized Hardcover Collection

Dynamite is to collect the Eisner-bait Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt series by Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard, with Mary Safro and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou as as an over-sized hardcover edition.

The comic saw classic character Peter Cannon reinterpreted through the eyglass of Ozymandias, in yet another unauthorised seque to Watchmen, as well as other Charlton-via-Watchmen characters similarly treated, but going to war (or the pub) with other dimensional versions of themselves, via the cross dimensional pathways of the nine-panel grid, running through a British eighties-and-nineties comics canon including the work of Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis, Mark Millar and Eddie Campbell. Kieron calls it "the superhero comic I'm most proud of. It also has at least three funny jokes. This is all I've ever wanted."

Dynamite PR adds,

Fans can cherish this edition of the book, studying it closely for all the Easter eggs and homages. At least until a prequel unauthorized by Gillen is announced…

See, they read Bleeding Cool too…

The Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt Oversized Hardcover will be published in September.
