So hey, they're releasing a bunch of new Watchmen books to cash in on all those rip-off versions of Captain Atom, Nightshade, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker and Thunderbolt. I won't be discussing them here, not because I have any loyalty to Alan Moore or ax to grind with DC, but because I think the original book is overrated as hell and don't give a rat's ass about the characters.
