First off, adding Van's comment which got put into another thread: >>My prediction is that J. Michael Straczynski will quit each mini-series >>halfway through.<<
After suddenly realizing, halfway through, that he is morally outraged and opposed to the whole idea of doing them without Moore. --Van Now my comment: You notice that both of JMS's books are only four issues? Doesn't he normally make it to about 5 or 6 before he quits? ;) Personally, I don't have a problem with this. If this fails, it doesn't sully the repuation or the quality of Watchmen (whatever one may think of it, and I know opinions vary greatly on that series). I mean, I don't think the Dark Knight Strikes Again hurt the rep of Dark Knight Returns, and that was by the same creator, even. Right now, the Dawryn Cooke Minutemen and the Len Weid/Jae Lee Ozymandias books are the ones which have my interest. But I taking a more cautious, "wait and see" approach with these comics.
