I swear I didn't know about Before Watchmen when I started my January of Watchmen reviews

DC Source announced yesterday that they were publishing seven miniseries of Watchmen prequels


RORSCHACH (4 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: Lee Bermejo
MINUTEMEN (6 issues) – Writer/Artist: Darwyn Cooke
COMEDIAN (6 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: J.G. Jones
DR. MANHATTAN (4 issues) – Writer: J. Michael Straczynski. Artist: Adam Hughes
NITE OWL (4 issues) – Writer: J. Michael Straczynski. Artists: Andy and Joe Kubert
OZYMANDIAS (6 issues) – Writer: Len Wein. Artist: Jae Lee
SILK SPECTRE (4 issues) – Writer: Darwyn Cooke. Artist: Amanda Conner


The issues are scheduled to be released one a week.

I've really enjoyed Darwyn Cooke's work in the past.

Azzarello made the mistake of upsetting the Pulp community with his comments on the First Wave project.

I liked what Straczynski did with The Twelve so far.

Len Wein edited the original Watchmen series.

I'll give the books a try.
