BeforeWatch: Heidi MacDonald takes on Before Watchmen.

M&G were so on board with the idea that a DC film crew went and interviewed them for HOURS about Watchmen.

AnimatedWatch: Covers by Kerry Callen.

They say I am a work in progress. The fools.

Love the new conversations and debates about who is a creator, what makes a creator and what rights that creator has or has given up knowingly or otherwise.
Well, not the most original thought on it, but I was inspired to try this…. for the longest time, I thought it was a Kirby face anyway…
