DC Comics has back the curtain even further on its controversial Watchmen prequel books with less than two months before they hit the stands. More than a dozen new images hit the net over the weekend, including character designs and full pages of art from the DC offices.
The gallery features images from nearly all of the six new Before Watchmen titles (with the exception of Brian Azzarello and J.G. Jones’ Comedian miniseries), and includes both black-and-white comics pages and full-color character design sheets. Most prominent among these images are Darwyn Cooke’s character designs for the Minutemen miniseries, which will chronicle the exploits of the superhero team that predates the Watchmen characters.
