'Watchmen' Spin-Offs, Sequels, Prequels the New Doomsday Scenario
DC, you're making Dr. Manhattans sad. With DC Comics president Paul Levitz stepping down from his seat, the rumor pools are getting murky with the possibility of Watchmen getting the prequels and spin-offs no one, least of all eccentric creator Alan Moore, ever wanted.
Bleeding Cool claims Dan DiDio, SVP-Executive Editor, has taken the dismal idea on as his pet project, and "that he is determined to impress new bosses by building on DC’s biggest selling comic book of all time with multiple prequel comic miniseries and spinoff ongoing projects." And if that happens, the Rorschach: Origins movie will probably be right behind.
Obviously this is a terrible idea, so I say we do something about it: we allow the people who legally control the property do with it as they will, then we get increasingly frustrated by the results as they make massive amounts of money despite our protests, like usual. That's worked so far with everything else.
