I don't plan to read any of these.
However, if pressed I'd choose the Minutemen (because the writer/artist is GREAT!), Rorschach (because the character is interesting), and Dr Manhattan (not because I care about the character at all, but because Adam Hughes will draw a REALLY hot Silk Spectre).
Just my two cents. And again, let me reiterate, I won't be buying these.

Luke, +1 to you for starting the thread(s) for new Watchmen! You gots cred here, no worries.So Bailey and Pat are lukewarm with regard to the new minis. Luke has some interest in a couple titles but not all of them.What about the rest of you collectors? Does this excite you? Are you really excited to see what Dr Manhattan was doing before the Watchmen series (I mean more than we already know which is seemingly everything that matters...) or what Silk Spectre was up to? I'll admit that these series do instill a little curiosity in me, but not nearly enough to want to buy them...i'll just rad Shag's or have him tell me the story lines.

First off, adding Van's comment which got put into another thread:

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.
