Name: John Coughlan

Bio: 24 years old, from Scotland. Relative late-comer to the Comicsphere. Although like most Brits I read lots of kids comics when younger, I only got into the larger world around 2005. Massive DC fan, especially: Batman, The Flash, Doom Patrol, Jonah Hex, Superman, Green Arrow, Power Girl, Secret Six, and much more. My Marvel love extends to Daredevil, Thor, Fantastic Four and Captain America, but am always open to more. I also love The Lone Ranger from Dynamite, The Walking Dead from Image, and Irredeemable from Boom. Ahem. I hate to toot my own horn, but I write comic book reviews and articles for entertainment and culture website Street Savvy -- thestreetsavvy.com

Despite numerous brushes with the larger DC Universe, Secret Six has always felt like an indie book to me. Following…

What’s Wrong With You? I Have No Problem with BEFORE WATCHMEN
February 3, 2012 2:29 pm You know what I just realised while reading this? Think about the creators attached to this and how much balls it took to step up to the plate. I don't think I'd do it if I was in their position, and I don't mean because it's "blasphemy" but because it will take a heckuva lot of skill. Bravo to them, I say.

DC Announces ‘Before Watchmen’ (UPDATE)
February 1, 2012 4:23 pm I choose to react... locigally! I was never in favour of a prequel, so I never even thought about who would write or draw it. With this creative talent on board, I'm sold. If, somehow, all of these minis are awful, the quality of Watchmen will not decline, and nobody is coming to take my copy from me. If you're not interested, then don't buy them. That'll have a greater impact on DC than complaining online will.
