So, yes, readers will get to see what the Comedian did between torching innocent Vietnamese and getting thrown out a window or how Nite Owl spent his evenings before hooking up with the Silk Spectre. What readers will not get, however, is original “Watchmen” author, Alan Moore, or artist, Dave Gibbons, leaving many to wonder, “What’s the point?”

Ah bin zut. Quel intérêt de faire une prequel sur un truc aussi magnifique ?

DC co-publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee tried to spin the prequels as a way of keeping famous characters fresh and “relevant” after two-and-a-half decades of neglect. “It’s our responsibility as publishers to find new ways to keep all of our characters relevant,” they said. “After 25 years the Watchmen are classic characters whose time has come for new stories to be told.”
Du gros, gros n’importe quoi.
Nous aussi on peut le faire : « Tout le monde se demande bien quelle a été la jeunesse de Philémon : en complet désaccord avec l’auteur, on va vous le montrer ! ».
Plus, “Watchmen,” one of the most popular and critically acclaimed comic series ever, is a cash cow, and there’s money to be made, so why the hell not, right?
Bin ouais tiens, on n’avait pas compris :)
