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.

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

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.
