I honestly, truly, can't articulate my feelings on DC Comics 'Before WATCHMEN' project. And this is a long while after it was announced. I think that they have really great people involved, and I wish them well. But that's about as far as my positive feelings on the subject go. The history of WATCHMEN is a complicated thing and is tied up in a number of legal, economic, and creative details. Quite a bit of which is out there for people to read about so I won't try and make sense of it here. When it comes to my feelings on the subject I guess I could try to simplify it just by saying; I really wish this didn't exist. And in all of the interviews and all of the press releases I've seen there has been a lot of talk about what they're going to do, about they're love and respect of the original, and a bunch of other PR lines. But not a single person involved on any level has answered the most basic question; Why?
'Before WATCHMEN' is happening, that much is fact. With even the announcement of it, the comics community is split. Not just readers but, from what I've read, creators as well. 'Before WATCHMEN' is happening.....
