Watching the Watchmen! Dave Gibbons speaks about his new book and the Watchmen movie!

Dave Gibbons bounds into the room with the justifiable swagger of a man whose work has been turned into a $150million dream come true.
He is instantly likeable, coming across as a thouroughly affable bloke, and I am delighted to have won a contest to meet him in person with 49 other geeks at an informal [...]

Who watches the Watchmen cartoon?

Seriously, they spent $150 million making the movie, but was it as cool as this? Dig those lyrics: “Strong together, united forever, come and meet your friends; time’s up, time’s here, for the Watchmen!”
In the comic Rorschach puts an axe through two dogs’ heads, just look what he does here. This [...]

New Watchmen Movie Posters Revealed!

Adapting the Citizen Kane of comics into a movie has me fraught with all kinds of concerns. I desperately hope that Watchmen (click for a high-def trailer) becomes the Citizen Kane of comic book films as well, but I know that if it sucks, even just a little bit, I will be majorly pissed off.

New Watchmen picture! It’s the Minutemen!

When I saw this pic of the Minutemen online I went straight for my Watchmen trade to see how it matched up to the image in the comic that Dave Gibbons drew…and to my surprise it wasn’t there. It never was. You never actually see the picture clearly in the comic, only parts of it [...]
