Will wait till they are all collected editions, wonder if it would be bad taste to get Moore to sign them at one point....

I'm really looking forward to reading the minute men.

Darwyn Cooke is involved with writing the stories so I'm going to give DC a chance. Cooke is the man!

I'm excited that DC is taking a risk and doing this series minus Alan Moore, who while I really appreciate his writing and I understand his feelings towards what they are doing,he needs to understand that he really no longer owns this property and to just understand that in a medium such as the comics industry it's a business of tellng stories old, new and continuing.

Darwyn Cooke was the perfect choice to do the Minutemen portion, he's very skilled at both writing and illustrating stories taking place in the mid twentieth century. Just look at DC The New Frontier. Can't wait to see what he has in store.

oh wow, i thought the miniseries idea was that all of these would be one shots, must have missed the news that each are their own mini series... more desperate then i thought at DC.
