A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

The animated "Watchmen" movie is confirmed to be a two-parter, and will be CG animated instead of 2D. "Watchmen: Chapter 1" allegedly releases in August 2024, while Chapter 2 has been delayed to 2025. (lemmy.ml)

UPDATE: Apparently the animation style is gonna be similar to Batman Ninja and Battle of the Super Sons, so don't get your hopes up.

/r/watchmen is currently in shambles.

Neat, I guess?

The reaction at the show doesn't impact my expectations either way, since people at shows kind of have a tendency to go nuts over the smallest glimpses.

I hope it is good. Watchmen leveraged the comic medium so heavily that it seems like any adaption is destined to lose a lot of the original flavor created by the way it was drawn and used the layouts. We will see what style is given to the adaption to bring it to life on its own terms.

It was apparently received well at Annecy. Maybe we'll finally get a proper adaptation?

One of the best received od all shows, however, was “Watchmen.” “This is a real leap-forward for us in our DC animation,” said Peter Giraldi, executive vice president, Alternative Programming, Warner Bros. Animation.

Motion comic wasn't enough?
