What Th--?!


You want to talk a wildcard for us? A parody of the great and powerful WATCHMEN is just that. But since it's produced with great love and admiration for the original, and written by Scott Lobdell, it also works nicely as a tweaked encapsulation of that entire series. We're presenting it as just a one-shot, a full 32-pages with no ads, in February, timed to coincide with the movie's release unless the recent ruling in Fox's favor does anything to sabotage that...

The art in the book is by Alejandro Figueroa, and as you can see, both art and colors, as well as Comicraft's Richard Starkings' letters, are very true to the masterful original work... albeit a lot goofier.

Hahaha, that's awesome! I'm a sucker for parody and you guys have NAILED this. The writing, the art... hehe, it's spot on!

And Nutsack? In the words of Stewie Griffin...

It could only have been better if the CSI riff was "H" with the sunglasses of justice.

I bet you all that, exeptionally, Alan Moore will be pleased with THIS adaptation of Watchmen....

That's freakin' brilliant!

Although I'm still waiting for IDW to publish the Simpson's Watchmen Prequel "Watchmen Babies in: V for Vacation". LOL
