After months of rumors, leaks and debates online about whether or not any new material would be made from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal 1986 comic series "Watchmen," DC Entertainment this morning announced a wide range of prequel comics set within the world of the original work. Branded "Before Watchmen," the seven series published by the company's DC Comics division will delve into the lives of the six main cast members of the original series as well as the Minutemen team whose exploits were historically part of the book. DC also plans to cap off the release of the titles -- which will see a new issue published each week over 35 weeks starting this summer -- with a one-shot epilogue capping the entire event.
A "Watchmen" follow-up of some sorts has been publicly discussed since the summer of 2010 when, shortly after the birth of DC Entertainment as a Warner Bros. division and the promotion of Dan DiDio and Jim Lee to Co-Publishers of DC Comics, Moore himself came out to say that DC had attempted to discuss a deal on such projects with him . Though DiDio played demure at the time, it's been widely assumed since then that some kind of "Watchmen" project was in the works. And in the two years since, plenty of rumors and leaks have hit including Bleeding Cool's uncovering of concept art from the likes of J.G. Jones and Joe Kubert and Andy Kubert as well as additional rumors as to creative talent.
