I don't know about this. I guess it could be good, but it could also be very bad. I will probably check these out, though.

a) Who's writing.
b) Are they writing because they want to or because they're being paid for it.

Not sure. Saw an article that said Kevin Smith turned down writing because he is "... not Alan Moore." I have yet to read Smith's comics, but have been trying to watch his show: Comic Book Men

Having gotten back into comics, I saw he wrote a bunch of Daredevil which I hope to check out sometime.

Well, that's the thing, innit? The DC dudes say they need to "keep the characters relevant", which roughly translates into "cash in on the sort of renewed interest in the title after the blockbuster movie made them somewhat recognizable again before they go back to obscurity."

Also, I can say a lot of negative things about Kevin Smith, but at least you have to give him credit for knowing his place in line.

Maybe we'll get something like an Ultimate Watchmen.

Actually, come to think of it, has there ever been a sequel work in any medium made >10 years after the original that ever lived up to expectations?

I never played Fallout 2, but it looks like Fallout 3 was released 10 years or so after 2. What do Fallout gamers think?

I see your point Ipsa, and I am hopeful that they do a good job with it. I do think that one issue is going to focus on the original Nite Owl and some early stuff -- maybe surrounding the Minutemen too. Time will tell, of course.

So far, so good. Picked up and read the first Minutemen. Also picked up the first Silk Spectre, but haven't read it.

That's good news - looks like I'll have to look into them.

As I said, the first one was Minutemen and the story kind of centered around the time Hollis was putting his book together (Under the Hood). Without giving away too much, he talks about how the Minutemen became "organized" and provides a little more detail about the characters. Having said that, I do enjoy back-stories so this "line" of background may not appeal to all.
