Take this Watchmen and Shove It

Wired.com's Underwire column offered a shocking tidbit last week.  Apparently, DC Comics offered to return the rights to Watchmen to Alan Moore, if Moore agreed to write some prequels and sequels to the landmark, legendary, acclaimed comic book miniseries turned graphic novel.  Moore rejected it:

“So I just told them that if they said that 10 years ago, when I asked them for that, then yeah it might have worked,” he said. “But these days I don’t want Watchmen back. Certainly, I don’t want it back under those kinds of terms.”

Speculation is that DC Comics' new regime is ready to move forward with new Watchmen projects.  As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to Watchmen, DC should just move on!
