DC Comics Announces "Before Watchmen"

eldavojohn writes "Currently DC Comics' site has a banner announcing a new series called "Before Watchmen." Unfortunately the blog pages for this new series appear to be experiencing high traffic and are unreachable. But a number of sites are breaking down these new endeavors that will be giving backstories to the seven characters and who will be creating each of those series. There's also speculation ranging from how much this must upset Alan Moore (egg frying on his forehead seems to be the popular guess) to the theory that this is simply for more movie material. There's an abundance of information from interviews released today."

Before.

I heard rumour that before Big Blue Wang there was Massive Pink Vag. Unfortunately the site is down and this can't be confirmed.

Finally it's here

I can't wait to have Alan Moore sign my copy of Watchman Babies: V for Vacation!

Be sure to wear your Saturday Morning Watchmen T-shirt, to show your loyalty to, and understanding of, his artistic vision. It'll make him more likely to cooperate.

I came to this movie because it was Watchmen, not because I wanted to, you know, watch men.

I can't believe DC or Marvel would compromise artistic integrity for a buck.

Shaka, when the walls fell

Twelve seconds, into my past, I open the comic.

The comic lies in the trash; falls from my fingers, is in my hand.

I'd really like a back story on why you say this.
