Poor Alan Moore.
Poor comic purists.
Poor me, for having to buy it.

This is like reviving Captain Marvel.
(Mar-vell. Not the other ones.)

And JMS' argument doesn't hold up. Why are there no prequels to TREASURE ISLAND or A TALE OF TWO CITIES? Because we don't need one. And comparing doing this to taking over SWAMP THING is bullshit. Still going to check it out, because I am a sick man, but this is a classic case of Corporation greed. They fucked Alan on his rights, and now they are taking more.

 ... Doing a prequel on Dr. Manhattan? Jeez.

Edit - More Info With Wein on a book, I have to get it. CRAP. Conner? JG Jones? damn, at least they have some great talent for me on this travesty.

EDIT 2 - While I am dumbfounded by the idea of this, I am not nearly as pissed as this reads.  Grin
