It's been rumoured that Dave Gibbons was paid somewhere closer to half a million dollars to, basically "bless" the Before Watchmen prequel series with a couple of sentences But Alan Moore appears to believe he was offered a lot more In an interview back in May at the Nottingham Contemporary, he told the Left Lion[...]

The first is in Ravagers #4, with Beast Boy turning into a tiger. The second is in Before Watchmen: Ozymandias #2, featuring a genetically engineered tiger, but a tiger nonetheless.

This week's Before Watchmen How Things Came To Be panel is from this week's Nite Owl #2 by JMS and the Kuberts. I was going to make a joke about "Next up! How Rorschach got his taste for cold baked beans", but they do that as well. This week's Before Watchmen How Things Came To Be[...]

Dave Gibbons discussing Before Watchmen and more: "I didn't have a lot of input in it To me anything to do with the movies – as far as I'm concerned, what Alan and I did was the Watchmen graphic novel and a couple of illustrations that came out at the same time Everything else – the[...]

And in dollars spent, DC have closed Marvel's two-and-a-half point lead to three-quarters of a point. A considerable amount of this may be due to Before Watchmen, as DC put four issue into the top ten, though Marvel take the top two with Avengers Vs X-Men, followed by DC's Batman and Justice League Surprisingly the Peter[...]

Before Watchmen may get green-lit, but would  the original series get commissioned in the current  climate…? A 32-page book, no-ads; a stand-alone story with all new characters… and creator-owned? Would a company like DC go for that nowadays? Nah. "But they should." ExtraCurricularWatch: The Beat lists the massive carnivals and events going on around San Diego Comic[...]

Just as Hit Girl stole Kick Ass' book… could Red Mist do the same here? Before Watchmen: Nite Owl gives us, well, The Boy Who Collected Nite-Owl, as well as one of the nicer and more subtle textual segues I've seen for a while, in this richly textured and laid back art style But one thing[...]

My mind is racing with the implications. Beyond that, Before Watchmen Silk Spectre was a blast Amanda Conner's art is perfect for this!
