Last year saw a number of sequels to Watchmen published, including Doomsday Clock, HBO's Watchmen, Watchmensch in Heavy Metal Magazine's Soft Wood and Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt by Kieron Gillen, Caspar Wjingaard, Mary Safro and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou from Dynamite Entertainment. But the latter was the best one by far. Dynamite published an oversized hardcover edition, and a signed edition, last year and, with an eye on awards season, have released the first issue for free for Bleeding Cool.

His level of genius is matched only by his heroics, and in humanity's darkest hour, he's the hero they need the most-alas, poor humanity. Peter Cannon— the man known as Thunderbolt — is only too happy to leave civilization to face its end. Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + the Divine) teams up with powerhouse artist Caspar Wijngaard (Doctor Aphra) as he returns to the superhero genre with a dark, humorous and relentless love song to the genre. Well, "Love Song" in a Leonard Cohen Love Song kind of way. Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt: saving a world he hates.
