Maybe Cooke is just trying to get a fat pay day so he can work on something more personal later on?

I wouldn't have been totally against a 6, or even 12 issue Mintemen series by one writer and one artist.

But 34 issues??? I wonder though, if I wasn't aware of Alan Moore's disuptes with DC, if I would be more accepting of an "un-authorized" prequel?

Is it also fan-fic when Alan Moore uses Peter Pan, Tom Sawyer, Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde, etc for HIS stories?

And what the hell? Why is Adam Hughes working on a Watchmen prequel? Why not his Wondr Woman series?
