It's been a mixed bag since then. Mostly I'd agree that Marvel and DC aren't producing anything amazing as they're too concerned with their own continuities (although have a look at my second review).<br /><br />The Before Watchmen titles I'vve flicked through haven't impressed me art-wise and I don't know what stories they could find that are worth telling without spoiling Watchmen. I may eventually read them as trades at some point, but I'm not going to bother with them as singles.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879783732371115178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397219131565566469.post-4049013145618716472012-08-03T10:01:55.232+01:002012-08-03T10:01:55.232+01:00I'm with you on them not really being worth it...I'm with you on them not really being worth it but like all things, and understandably, it's all about the money. They're massive sellers but so far I've read them all and have only been impressed with the Silk Spectre one. I'll give the Rorshach one a look but I don't hold out too much hope for that either. To be honest most of the good, original stuff doesn't come out of DC or Marvel any more in my opinion, although Vertigo still produces the odd gem.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879129080882658691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397219131565566469.post-61045281612400833762012-08-03T10:00:59.508+01:002012-08-03T10:00:59.508+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879129080882658691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397219131565566469.post-29500078488857939032012-08-03T08:35:59.053+01:002012-08-03T08:35:59.053+01:00I'm pleased it's of interest.

I don't see the need for prequels. <br /><br />Have you read it? Is it good?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879783732371115178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397219131565566469.post-85434398117831650082012-07-31T15:17:54.482+01:002012-07-31T15:17:54.482+01:00Come over from your wrestling blog which I'm r...Come over from your wrestling blog which I'm read for a while now. This will be an interesting read as I'm a big comic fan although completely different to you in that I dislike the superhero genre. Hmm, maybe dislike is too harsh, it's just not my favourite and its rare I read those type of comics.<br /><br />If you're not a fan of Watchmen, I'm guessing you haven't bothered giving the Before Watchmen lot a try? Probably for the best.<br /><br />I look forward to reading this once a week and seeing what you're reading. If you want any non superhero options I've got plenty past, present and future.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879129080882658691noreply@blogger.com
