DC Comics Announces Watchmen Prequel Comics

Posted on February 2, 2012

DC Comics has announced it will publish seven prequel mini-series from the Watchmen universe. The comics feature the Watchmen characters, including Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan.

The Before Watchmen comics include the following series:

• 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

We wonder if any of the character comic series will become films.
