I'm morbidly curious about these, but will not buy any of them. In no small part because I'm worried about the horrible, piercing hate lasers of judgement that would emanate from the eyes of any comic book store proprietor from which I would have to purchase these.

This "uproar" is decidedly more silly than the actual indignity(!) of Watchmen sequels and reminds me of why I (and many others, I suspect) tend to avoid comics in general.

@cat & beard: Ugh. That makes perfect sense and I cannot blame you at all for feeling that way. It's also super depressing because, you know, good comics are out there. They're just hidden beneath this stuff.

How many hands do we need in order to list all of the artworks in history that were improved upon by sequels or prequels?*

* Sequels or prequels that were not part of the entire original vision, that is.
