Everything’s Eventual. Even Watchmen Sequels…Er…Prequels
You don’t get blockbuster, earth-shattering, bombshell news in the comic book business very often. No, the industry saves that kind of excitement for the interior pages of their various superhero publications. The clever people at DC Comics have managed that kind of news twice in the last six months. They first did it with the re-launch of their entire line of comic book titles, all beginning with brand new first issues this past September, making for mainstream press headlines worldwide.
And they did it again today. With Watchmen.

Raise of hands: who here doesn’t like a little political intrigue, a little spy-vs-spy, in their superhero comics?
Yeah, I thought so. We all love it! Now, mix those elements together alongside one of comicdom’s most beloved characters (even if he does have a silly, dated name) and you’ve got a sure-fire hit on your hands. It’s a wonder Marvel Comics didn’t do this years ago!
Do what?
Give Winter Soldier his own series. And let fan-favourite Ed Brubaker write it.
Biff Bam Pop’s Favourite Couples – Buffy and Angel

Girl meets boy.
Girl loves boy.
Girl and boy make sweet, sweet love.
Boy becomes a soulless vampire and goes on a killing spree.
Heard it once, heard it a thousand times.
Not so much.
