February 10, 2012 12:02 am I have read the article on the Hollywood Reporter site, and it sound a little suspect to me. Why would Kirkman grant him 60%of the publishing comic net proceeds It wouldn't leave much profit to continue the series or hire a decent artist to replace him(being an indie comic). It sounds like Tony Moore would be at fault, if he signed away his rights thinking it would fail. In the end, it's really sad to see them headed down this route.

February 9, 2012 11:39 pm From the interview I had heard, Tony Moore said he wasn't going to get a creator credit, but was going to be a work for hire. Even Kirkman said it was solely his idea,.

February 9, 2012 2:26 pm Yeah this had a great ending, whom ever didn't pick this up in issues, pick up the trade, it's worth it.

February 9, 2012 2:22 pm I am going to miss Travel Foreman on Animal Man, and Fernando Dagnino on Ressurection Man. I liked Jesus on the Manhunter series and look forward to seeing what he does on Ressurection Man.

February 7, 2012 11:08 am While I am not a fan of Rob Liefeld. He does chose his marks as more of a designer to illustrate,but it's the fact that it's buffed out heros and heroines which we can immediately make a comparison to realistic humans is what, I think, has made him a target. Also the fact that I can't remember seeng him ever draw any enviornments to support his characters and the story.

February 6, 2012 4:48 pm This was a god podcast, I am glad about the discussion with the Dark Horse Presents. I have found that I like these issues, but I always have to weigh them with my budget. If these were download issues with a lower price point(I'm assuming becuse of print cost and thing), these would be on my radar. I have bought buy them when I have the moneyin the past, because I like the anthology kind format, it's like reading short stories. It just is out of my price range right now, if a bunch of books (2-3) fall out of favor, I will probably start to add this to my pull list.

February 3, 2012 11:56 pm I have to admit the passion for this material is inspiring, It really displays the impact of Watchmen on comics, These article forums are rarely this active with the fans input. It really legitimizes why there is a ifanboy.

February 3, 2012 10:07 am @Bigblue, my impression was he was trying to pick as identifiable a book as possible to illustrate his point, not try to prove how humble he is. Watchmen isn't sacred, I agree, but it truly is DC trying to get some fans to buy more book based on their nostalgia. Like they have done with thier other trademarks. I agree these characters are great, but the greatness for me came from the sprinkling of info and actions through out the individual issues. My imagination did the rest based on the ground work Alan Moore provided. I don't see how this can hurt in any way, but these would have served better probably if they were released at the time of the film, these characters are already archetypes of their flag ship trademark characters, it just dress up a pig and calling it a dog now. I think they would be better served in trying to connect with more real issues in the world and writing stories which evolve around what the current generation faces.It seems to really be missing in alot of today's main stream comics.

February 1, 2012 12:52 pm The only story I rememer off the top of my head being revisited after tyhe inital impact was Dark Knight by Frank Miller, can anyone remember other big impact stories being revisited and sucessful?
