Ray's 53rd DCU/GrayHaven Megathread - Beware the Court of OOMPHwls!!!

[Dark Sasha]

Are you seriously threatening to drop all your DC books over the Watchmen prequels?

Yup. Instead of coming up with new ideas, which they can, they go for something 25 years old instead of developing something daring and brilliant like Watchmen but not Watchmen. And there is no point to it. Everything that matters in that book is in that book. It is a novel. Like Moby Dick. Like Gatsby. It does not need further prequels to explain itself. And it won't be a Rosencrantz and Guildestern are dead, but tiny stories just there to sell where the Comedian kills a guy and Silk Spectre kicks someone.

So you're dropping other books you like, to protest a book you don't like.

Can someone tell me how long a $3 image comic is? is it 20 or 22?

[Dark Sasha]

And you're just proving what Alan Moore said about the comic book industry. That they are still using HIS ideas 25 years down the line instead of doing something else. He's winning. You want to prove him wrong, really prove him wrong.

Haunt is 20 pages of story and a few of sketches.

Edit: And I guess the sketches were just for the first Casey issue.

There's been way too little talk of how awesome the Watchmen prequels/sequels are going to be in the new thread.

If only the new thread had started when the awesome Amanda Conner Silk Spectre pic had come out.

Thanks a lot.


Can anyone back this up with another Image comic? I'm trying to write to fit their standard.

Yes, and a stand must clearly be taken against this war crime.

Think of the hundreds of thousands who will die if this goes ahead. To say nothing of all those displaced from their homes.

You're doing God's work, Sasha. Doing God's work.

[Ray G.]

Thanks a lot.

I think the majority are 22. Last of the Greats and Severed are for sure. Gladstone's was often oversized, but I think that's the exception.
