Both his "Swamp Thing" run and Watchmen are works I revisit every year I respect his view on how the comic book industry (and entertainment industry overall) have treated him over the years I completely understand & respect his disinterest in having anything to do with any adaptations of his works that he disapproves of[...]

But when you're the creative mind behind the team that produced HBO's pseudo-sequel/spinoff/"remix" of writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins' Watchmen Praised by viewers and critics alike, the multi-award-winning limited series not only blew away the myth of "The Unfilmmable Comic Book" but also made the original source material more relevant[...]

As the Watchmen snowglobe cracks… …as it does, as it did, as it always will.

And for Gunn, it's all about Watchmen co-creator Alan Moore and how he must've felt when his original pitch to use the Charlton line of heroes that DC Comics acquired (like Peacemaker) for "Who Killed the Peacemaker?" was turned down because DC didn't want the characters to be left "either dead or dysfunctional." But instead[...]

Because apparently when you combine a persecution complex, self-pity & a BuzzFeed quiz that tells you which of Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons & John Higgins' Watchmen characters you are, you get today's laughable example of narcissism Apparently hoping to either have the deal done by now or having shuffled off to something else, Musk is[...]

And this year's TCA winter press event was no exception, with Bloys chiming in on the announced Six Feet Under & True Blood revivals, the future The CW's Arrowverse/Metaverse series, Westworld, Watchmen, and True Detective And while what Bloys has to say is pretty direct and to the point, there was definitely a surprise or[...]

Watchmen (Image: HBO) 2) "Watchmen": Similar to both Stranger Things and Westworld, Watchmen features a soundtrack filled with both an iconic strong score featuring memorable motifs and re-done[...]

This article below originally ran over a year ago, celebrating the launch of I May Destroy You, Michaela Coel's BBC TV drama that focused on sexual assault, but also reinvented the television drama, in much the same way that Watchmen did the superhero comic book thirty-five years ago I described I May Destroy You as[...]
