February 1, 2012 6:48 pm Great post, I especially agree with this: "That said, I won’t fault anyone for reading any of this. But I just don’t see the point. The “universe” of Watchmen was so interesting precisely because we only got a little glimpse of it, only saw little hints of the superhero history that we had to USE OUR IMAGINATIONS to fill-in while we were reading the story. The characters are great characters, but I don’t need to know everything about them." I would rather see Watchmen left alone, the fact that it is so polarizing and revered to this day shows just how significant Watchmen was and still is. I don't see the point of further exploring that world. It's happening, though. Not much else can be said. I just hope these new stories do justice to the characters and the story that so many people love.

January 27, 2012 2:54 pm The He-Man sketch is fantastic! The Buzz Lightyear is also good.

January 6, 2012 10:08 pm The Up! sketch is just beautiful.

January 5, 2012 8:39 pm Northlanders and Fear Agent for me, their faces say it all.

December 16, 2011 3:18 pm I'm still reading Cerebus, been reading it for about three years now. I'll be done with it...soon.

December 7, 2011 8:12 pm Can't wait for saga and now I'm interested for Manhattan Project off that image alone.

November 23, 2011 9:09 pm Very cool take on Usagi.

November 12, 2011 3:15 am They're all gold, but the Robert Mitchum, Max and Agent Graves sketches...yeah.
