The Only Thing I Will Say About DC Comics’ “Before Watchmen” Announcement

I have often fantasized about how exciting it must have been to be a fan of comics when Watchmen was first released. I was a year old by the time the final issue hit stands, so, needless to say, I missed it.

But now I get to experience that excitement.

I have mixed feelings about the project, but I’m staying hopeful.

The artwork they showed at this was so damned cool. I can’t wait for this to come out.

Haters gonna hate.
