Are You Watching The Watchmen Collectibles?
Wednesday July 23, 2008
I imagine one of the things that rubs Alan Moore the wrong way about having his properties made into movies is all the tie ins that go along with it. The toys, books, games, and other materials may seem to take away from the work that he put his heart and soul into. I wonder what he thinks about these new Watchmen Collectibles that are already being pushed to coincide with the new Watchmen movie. Some of them are a bit silly, others are pretty cool, my choice being The Comedians pistols. Whether you love or hate this kind of thing you can bet comic book fans will be inundated with all sorts of Watchmen products in the coming months. I just hope the movie does some justice to the comic.Image Copyright Warner Bros.

Alan Moore has actually commented that he divorces himself from anything else that comes out as a result of his creations. He’s done his thing, it exists as the original element, and he could care less about the aftermath.
At least, that’s what he says. I can’t imagine that he’s 100% carefree about that stuff.
