February 1, 2012 1:29 pm Do we need another Watchmen comic? No. I agree with Moore's comment about there not being any sequels to Moby Dick. Some things are better left on their own. As well, I agree with his daughter's tweet a little while ago about using those creators to create new stories instead of doing the prequels. The problem is, would a new character by Azz and Beremejo or Darwyn Cooke sell as well as a Watchhmen prequel, even if say they were stories about the actual Charlton characters? No. So while story wise we don't need more Watchmen, in terms of sales, DC knows that will make the most money. And last time I checked, that's what they're job is. Sadly in these times, they need any economic boost they can get, so they're probably more desperate to do this now than if things were back like the 90's. I am glad they've got some serious talent on this. I'm quite interested in the Azz and Cooke minis. Wein seems like an odd choice, and JMS I assume is simply for name power, although do you really need it when it's Watchmen? They could have used some other top talent, maybe someone who finishes projects. Anyway, it's finally here, we can come from out of our bomb shelters now and worry about the next property to be pecked at by the money-grubbing vultures. ;)

January 27, 2012 1:56 pm It's on like Donkey Kong. I've loved Simonson since his X-Factor days. Now if only Marvel would collect those issues in colour and DC collect Orion. I needs me some Walt! Can't wait for this new OGN though, glad to see a bit of a resurgence. I wonder if the Thor Omnibus helped? I'm pleased nevertheless.

December 22, 2011 6:31 pm This comic is so smartly written, as most of Azz's stuff is, it just isn't always accessible. Nice to see this is.

December 20, 2011 5:57 pm That's not the prison from Batman Begins. And isn't Alfred with him? The beard means nothing, the gray hairs mean everything. I'm guessing he goes to find himself after his defeat from Bane. Maybe retrain or something.

December 13, 2011 11:50 am This looks like it will be a good time. And they appear to have gotten rid of Snake Eyes' plastic lips! Huzzah!

December 2, 2011 3:25 pm The Australian Outback years are my all-time favourite X-Men years, but really I love everything from the Paul Smith era through JRJR, Silvestri and until Lee got his own X-Men book. If anyone is looking for Paul Smith's run on X-Men in trade, while it isn't in colour, Essential X-Men Vol. 4 collects his entire run.

November 28, 2011 2:30 pm Daredevil for sure, maybe TMNT as well. Does anyone know if the new BPRD trade "Being Human" is uncollected stuff or is it from previous BPRD and Hellboy collections? Bonus Question: Watched "Super 8" on VOD this weekend. It was enjoyable, definitely captured that Spielberg 80's movie feel. But damn, what was with those lense flares? Once in a while is okay and kind of cool, but there were flares on-screen sometimes when there was absolutely no light source on screen!

November 17, 2011 5:49 pm @NextChamp - go find the early interviews Aaron did when he was announced as the writer and when he just started, he's says he had one big story to tell and then he was done, a la his run on Ghost Rider. Whether he meant to go to #25 or really wanted it to end with #22, who knows, but he's telling the ending he wants. Frankly I was expecting an end knowing this was one big story with either the arc after "Frank", which is what's happening, or maybe an arc after that. We were never going to see Punisher MAX #50 by Aaron.

November 17, 2011 5:46 pm Yeah I'm not too sure why everyone's up in arms, Aaron has said from the beginning this was a finite run. And who's to say there won't be a new Punisher MAX #1 in a couple of months? I'm not too sure what the numbers were, but if it sold okay, there will be.
