Comicgasm Rants About “Before Watchmen”

by on Feb.05, 2012, under DC

Here’s what we at Comicgasm think of DC’s prequel to Watchmen: fuck everything about this.

Now that we’ve gotten the TL;DR out of the way, this is the expanded version.

We’re not even going to go into how DC screwed Alan Moore over. There’s a healthy debate about that elsewhere on the internet, and legally, DC can use those characters in any way they want to, because fuck creators’ rights.

Watchmen is, pretentiousness aside, the bible of sequential art. (continue reading…)

DC Comics Gets A New, Terrible Logo

by on Jan.14, 2012, under DC, News

Unlike most angry internet fanboys, I was one of the few who actually genuinely liked the 2006 swoosh logo of DC Comics, and I’m really genuinely sad to see it go. Apparently, DC is applying for a trademark for their new logo, which shows the new bold direction DC Entertainment is going into.

And that new direction is bland as fuck. Is DC turning into a delivery service or something?

What do you guys think of the new logo?

Watchmen Prequels On The Way?

by on Oct.25, 2011, under DC, News

As if we needed another reason to hate DC more, there are rumors of plans of a Watchmen prequel. Names attached to the project are Dave Gibbons, John Higgins, Darwyn Cooke, JMS, JG Jones, Andy Kubert and more. Honestly, even though Watchmen is DC’s property and they can do the fuck whatever they want with it, this is just so wrong on so many levels. You don’t need a prequel to the single greatest graphic novel of all time. Everything was explained clearly in the beginning of the comic, and we don’t need to know what happens. Not even if it means Darwyn Cooke wrote the script. No. DC, just stop it already. I admit, the reboot, as unnecessary as it is, worked for a bit, but it doesn’t mean you can just go and and raping all your properties. Because seriously, if there’s anything nobody should touch, it’s Watchmen.
