SDCC '19: HBO debuts the Comic-Con trailer for their new "Watchmen" TV Series

Teased months ago with bits of footage and an ominous trailer, the 50th annual San Diego Comic-Con finally gives us a better look at HBO's new vision of the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons classic "Watchmen" - which will be a television series that doesn't quite follow the graphic novels or movie we all knew, but rather follows a group of characters and a revolution brewing after the outlawing of superheroes in an alternate world version of the United States.

Behold the Comic-Con Trailer.

Watchmen, directed by David Lindelof and starring Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, and more - will debut on HBO this October.

ICYMI: Batman: The Killing Joke trailer released

After lots of teases, snippets of footage, and announcing that the film will premiere on this year's San Diego Comic Con, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have officially released the trailer to "Batman: The Killing Joke" - featuring Kevin Conroy back as Batman and taking on Mark Hamill's insane portrayal of The Joker in the groundbreaking story based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland!


Batman: The Killing Joke hits Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital later this year!

DC officially announces "Before Watchmen"

In a move that is undoubtedly both controversial and exciting, DC Entertainment has officially announced  a new prequel series to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal comic book series work "WATCHMEN". Unified under the banner entitled "BEFORE WATCHMEN", seven prequel miniseries will be released that will tell tales that exist within the Watchmen universe, and will feature the likes of J. Michael Straczynski, Andy Kubert, Brian Azzarello, and Darwyn Cooke.

The titles to be released are as follows:

RORSCHACH (4 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: Lee Bermejo 


MINUTEMEN (6 issues) – Writer/Artist: Darwyn Cooke 


COMEDIAN (6 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: J.G. Jones 


DR. MANHATTAN (4 issues) – Writer: J. Michael Straczynski. Artist: Adam Hughes 


NITE OWL (4 issues) – Writer: J. Michael Straczynski. Artists: Andy and Joe Kubert 


OZYMANDIAS (6 issues) – Writer: Len Wein. Artist: Jae Lee 


SILK SPECTRE (4 issues) – Writer: Darwyn Cooke. Artist: Amanda Conner

There will also be a back up story in the form of CURSE OF THE CRIMSON CORSAIR, which runs for two-pages at the end of every issue released. After all is said and done, a single issue called BEFORE WATCHMEN: EPILOGUE will be released, and will also feature a Crimson Corsair back up.

Rumor: Watchmen 2 is really happening? Andy Kubert confirmed as artist.

Those of you who've read Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal work "Watchmen", guess what? Apparently, a sequel prequel comic book miniseries is actually in the works, and it's been confirmed that artist Andy Kubert (Batman, Flashpoint) would be attached to the project.

The news broke and supposedly got confirmed via Bleeding Cool, and aside from Kubert drawing, other artists and writers are supposedly attached as well, with big names like JMS and even co-creator Dave Gibbons himself possibly taking part in this rumored miniseries that predates the main Watchmen story. DC Comics has yet to confirm, but the story is trending around and being reported by other comic book news sites like Comic Book Resources and io9, adding a lot of speculation as to whether or not this pre-Watchmen series is really happening. It's still a rumor at this point, so time will tell for sure if this actually holds water.

Remembering the 5th with a little V...

Whether you're wearing your Guy Fawkes' inspired mask, reading, or watching a copy of V for Vendetta, today is indeed the 5th of November. With that in mind, it's time to reminisce about this stellar dystopian future tale that was originally released as a comic book series/ graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. To commemorate the occasion, here's a You Tube video I found that compiles a collection of clips and scenes from the film adaptation directed by the Wachowski Bros., which featured Hugo Weaving as the elusive freedom fighter vigilante V and Natalie Portman as Evey, released 5 years ago and remains one of the more obscure yet classic movies to this day.

In this tribute video, V goes on to say those epic lines that  many have recited to remember this day, with the BGM "Evey Reborn" playing in the background...



Remember, Remember the 5th of November

"Remember, Remember the 5th of November The Gun powder, Teason and Plot I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot." - V from V for Vendetta

Remember, Remember, The 5th Of November...

On this glorious rainy day, I was reminded by a friend of mine how memorable this day was to those standing in the popculture shadow. It's not everyday you remember a certain graphic novel work by writing extraordinaire Alan Moore and artist David Lloyd, and on this Thursday, we begin to commemorate all the voices and people involved in this epic story that showed us the true cost of attaining victory!

Ah yes... Today is the 5th, so I'll probably indulge in some V later if time permits me to do so. The film version, while not having Moore's involvement, was quite receptive to the public upon its release in 2005, and it had quintessential talents like Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman involved. Do yourselves a favor by celebrating the 5th by reading the book or watching the film, and always remember... FREEDOM FOREVER!XD
