Selfridge) and set to premiere late 2018, the upcoming fantasy drama stars Teresa Palmer (Hacksaw Ridge) as Oxford scholar Diana Bishop, who also happens to be descended from witches; while Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey, Watchmen) portrays vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner's Bad Wolf; with Tranter, Gardner and Harkness serving as executive producers.

Mixing the regular DCU with Watchmen characters is an interesting idea, but where do you go from there? Making stylistic and narrative references to the Watchmen story itself is not enough to convince me this tale is worthwhile. I do like the Justice Society references though, but, then again, I love the Justice Society Hell, Johns's JSA[...]

In what we imagine must be the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for Watchmen scribe Alan Moore, HBO has announced that superstar actor Don Johnson will join the cast of David Lindelof's "remixed" Watchmen TV show. Regina King, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Adelaide Clemens, and Andrew Howard will also join the show, according to a report from[...]

Sometimes earnest affection is enough to make a comic work. Doomsday Clock #4 cover by Gary Frank and Brad Anderson Loss: Doomsday Clock #4 Tells You the Origin Story You Never Needed Yes, Watchmen #4 was an origin issue too Yes, the Mothman bits of this issue are actually really enjoyable However, devoting an entire issue to a character who[...]

While fleshing out your main characters is a good idea almost every time, a backstory to the new Rorschach seems superfluous. There's no way to talk about Doomsday Clock without referring to Watchmen like I'm a Pokemon, and my name is "Watchmen." I hope that's beyond clear four issues into this story In fact, I suspect[...]

The crusade to convince Warner Bros to release the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League has just gained a prominent ally, one who is strong in the force! That's right, Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, has expressed admiration for deposed DCEU architect Zack Snyder, naming Snyder's earliest DC movie his "favorite watch." Asked the question[...]

Revealed today via IGN, DC Collectibles will be producing a wave of action figures based on the Geoff Johns/Gary Frank saga starring the Watchmen characters This is not the first time we have gotten action figures based on the property, those came around the time of the feature film But these are designed by Frank[...]

  HBO's series based on the iconic Watchmen graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is getting closer to seeing the light of day The television version was officially greenlit with a pilot order back in September, with news coming today of a director attached to helm the pilot. Nicole Kassell has been tapped to direct the pilot[...]

In Doomsday Clock, the unauthorised sequel to Watchmen being published by DC Comics, the Watchmen incursion crew are on the hunt for Dr Manhattan, who has been operating in the DC Universe, wiping out Titans histories here and Justice Societies there, splitting Superman in two, messing with Superman and Batman's respective fathers, all sorts of[...]

TV with news that the Lost creator will be extending his overall deal with the studio. Credit: s_bukley / Shutterstock.com Working with the studio since 2012, the deal extension doesn't come as a huge surprise: Lindelof is currently working on HBO's series adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's iconic limited comic series Watchmen[...]

It is very Watchmen-like, as Rich Johnston said in his article on the subject It also has elements of Marvel's original Civil War tale: The Justice League has infighting between Wonder Woman, and Batman, and Nightwing speaks of how the government will be coming after superheroes soon. One of my concerns about how this comic will[...]

I understand that Watchmen did the same thing, but—well, no comic is perfect. Doomsday Clock adheres to very strict nine panel layouts for almost every page in the comic On the surface, it may seem to make sense for a sequential comic to have as many panels as possible with which to tell one's story, but[...]

This is the story what will marry the regular DC Universe to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' legendary Watchmen continuity.           I mean, I'm assuming that's the end goal DC Universe: Rebirth and The Button both laid the ground work for this merger to happen.           The year is 1992[...]

The Watchmen world is no stranger to legacy heroes of course, with there being two Nite-Owls in the series So that someone else has taken up Rorschach's name and guise is maybe not as unusual as one would think. So, what makes the ungloved hand enough to prove he's someone else? Simple… this Rorschach is a[...]

There's a whole heap of reasons for this comic to have so much discussion, from the fact that DC are placing such importance on it in a never-before-seen amount of PR support (seriously, not even Dark Nights: Metal got this much), to the fact it is new work by Johns and Frank, the follow up[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Beyond Watchmen & Judge Dredd: The Art of John Higgins by John Higgins is a massive, solid art book done in lovely, thick, high-gloss paper It's made to be read on a table, being a decently large book At a weight of roughly three pounds and with pages being 9.8" square, I could hold it in[...]

Due to the incredible demand for the series that promises to bring the WATCHMEN characters and the DC Universe together for the first time, DOOMSDAY CLOCK #1 has already gone back to the printer. Fans had the opportunity to reject a comic symbolizing the mistreatment of comic book creators and the exploitation of their creations for[...]

Featuring characters from Watchmen and the DC Universe — and a Dr Manhattan who has been messing with Superman and Batman's respective fathers, including Jor-El posing as Mister Oz and kidnapping Doomsday. So, there's stuff. But one aspect of the November 22nd date hasn't been picked up on until now: November 22nd is also the date in[...]

Just like the divisive ending to LOST, Damon Lindelof is offering no explanation for why he would disregard the wishes of co-creator Alan Moore and make an HBO TV adaptation of Watchmen, a comic book he claims to respect Lindelof did, however, have some comments about his upcoming show during an interview with bird-themed pop[...]

Review copies of Doomsday Clock #1 by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank published by DC Comics were sent to press earlier this week. Some with pancake mix, some

Dave Gibbons made an appearance at a Madefire panel at New York Comic Con tonight, and this reporter was able to grab him briefly for a few quick questions about his thoughts on the Watchmen sequel, Doomsday Clock, and his other current work To start: "I wasn't told anything at all – I know just as much as anybody[...]

But Johns is defying that wisdom. "The only thing you have to have read beyond this story is Watchmen You don't have to read Rebirth to understand Doomsday Clock," Johns promised, though he did say you should know who Batman and Superman are. Doomsday Clock #1 hits stores on November 22.   At the Doomsday Clock panel at[...]
