“While he was unaware of DC’s specific plans for Before Watchmen, Mr. Moore said he has over the years resisted overtures from the publisher to approve sequel or prequel projects.

Still, Mr. Moore said he was unlikely to stand in the way of Before Watchmen or to fight the project in court, where he said DC Comics would meet him with an “infinite battery of lawyers.”

“I don’t want money,” he said. “What I want is for this not to happen.”

Mr. Gibbons does not share those feelings. Though he is not participating in Before Watchmen, he said in a statement: “The original series of Watchmen is the complete story that Alan Moore and I wanted to tell. However, I appreciate DC’s reasons for this initiative and the wish of the artists and writers involved to pay tribute to our work. May these new additions have the success they desire.”

But Mr. Moore was unconvinced, saying that the endeavor only weakened the argument that comics were an authentic form of literature.

“As far as I know,” he said, “there weren’t that many prequels or sequels to ‘Moby-Dick.’ ””

Not that I am upset about this or anything, because comics are cyclical, and these things happen, and honestly, DC could use the new readership, even if Dan Didio is a twat, but…Canada just seems really fucking random.

I mean, how do you come to that idea in a pitch meeting?  

Seriously, I am not bitching.  

I just…Canada?  

I mean, was somebody saying, “You know what we  really need to humanize Booster Gold, and make him much more accessible to a larger audience?  He needs to have played hockey instead of football.  You see where I am going with this, Dan?  I am talking maple and curling.  Let’s shake this thing up.”

It just seems so random.  

I’ll think I’ll wait for the trade.

Just tell me what I have to do, to make this real.  Who do I have to kill?  I’ll kill them.  Say I will not.

The Action Comics #3 cover might be one of my favorite covers I’ve ever seen.

Just damn near pitch perfect. Can’t wait for this title.
