I think my favorite part really is JMS explaining how of COURSE everyone wants to know Moloch's backstory because he's such an important character.

As long as we're fucking it all up, why not After Watchmen?

Wait, isn't Steve Rude a friend of yours, Thad?

We've met.  He was a nice guy in my experience.  Don't know that he'd remember me.

I think Before Watchmen is a creatively bankrupt exercise, I haven't bought any of it, and at no point during Watchmen did I ever think to myself "Gee, I'd sure like to know more about Dollar Bill's backstory."

But there are also a lot of very talented people working on Before Watchmen and I don't blame them.  Rude, in particular, has been trying for YEARS to get work at DC and they haven't even returned his calls; I'm glad they gave him something even if it's not something I'm especially interested in reading.  Hopefully this is a stepping stone to more projects; I'd love to see him on Mister Miracle or Supergirl or Wonder Woman or any number of books.

"Well, we've got this one project that nobody will touch and you're probably going to get hate mail for it. Still interested?"

Well, not exactly.  He did some covers for some of the other minis, and I'm sure that put him on the shortlist when they decided to milk it some more.

Before Watchmen seems to be selling decently enough.  I still don't think that's going to last long-term, but they wouldn't be trotting out every damn minor character they can think of if the first round hadn't sold well.

I mean, I'm sure he IS getting hate mail for it.  But this is comics.  "Getting hate mail" is otherwise known as "having your work published in a comic book".

Speaking of hate mail, I just learned about H.E.A.T.
