Watchmen 2 Is Maybe Possibly Happening Some Day

?I was kind of hoping to avoid talking about this, but enough other nerd news sites are picking it up that I feel compelled to comment: Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool says that he’s confirmed that his unknown source has confirmed that DC has confirmed that Andy Kubert is drawing a Watchmen prequel. However, before anyone gets up in arms I’d just like to remind you that Bleeding Cool has been “confirming” a Watchmen 2 rumor periodically since February of 2010, and no one else is — seriously, every article that has mentioned a Watchmen 2 since then as “news” inevitably links back to Bleeding Cool. Now, Johnston may well be right — trying to make more money off Watchmen is not the unlikeliest thing in the world for DC to do — but I don’t know why BC seemingly has the Watchmen 2 tip hotline installed and yet major comics news sites like Comic Book Resources, Comics Alliance and Newsarama somehow don’t. Or have heard these rumors from their own sources. At any point over the last year and a half. Just seems odd to me, is all.

Anyways, you may froth at the mouth in rage at your own discretion. I’m going to wait a bit, personally. If you’d like to wait with me, you could do a lot of worse than read Comics Alliance’s “totally true Watchmen 2 facts” while you do so. Two words: Lady Rorschach.
