Custom Minimates by Bob Harris

Bob Harris created these amazingly detailed minimates based on the graphic novel Watchmen, and look at those miniature sets. It really makes me wish this set was mass produced.

Rorschach @ SDCC

Apparently Rorschach was a reporter on the scene for Newsarama at the 2008 SDCC, who knew? Read his journal entries of the event.

What A True New Yorker Looks Like

Marcus Thiele (aka Marcus Parcus) created this panache of the New Yorker's own Eustace Tilley which ended up being one of the 12 winners of the magazine's second annual Your Eustace contest.

Movie 'Men Mighty Muggs

As a customizable platform toy Mighty Muggs have caught on really fast. Probably because they enable customs like these four by Are-Jay which came out pretty good. Ozymandias and Nite Owl still to come

Be Honest, You've Never Read Watchmen

This hilarious video comes courtesy of Landline TV. Were there really that many people claiming to know Watchmen? I didn't really see this, I was actually surprised by the number of people I knew who had read it, never mentioned so until the movie was coming out, and didn't think it was that big of a deal. This is funny regardless.

In Depth Notes on EVERY Page of Watchmen

The Annotated Watchmen contains detailed annotation for every page and nearly every panel of Watchmen. An invaluable resource for anyone doing scholarly research concerning the book or just someone who has read the book a few times but wants to be absolutely sure they're not missing anything. A huge pat on the back goes out to Doug Atkinson and R.J White for steering and editing this truly enormous compendium of notes and information.

Rob Liefield's Watchmen 2

"This just in: Watchmen” creators Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons have just signed Rob Liefeld to write and illustrate the sequel to their all-time great graphic novel! I was able to obtain a sneak preview of the upcoming cover:


"I feel the extra costuming elements really add something to the characters; I know I look forward to seeing what’s in all those pouches, at least. And I got so tired of those Gibbons backgrounds, so full of detail and meaning. Give me good old-fashioned color gradients with lots of random lines hatching across it any day!

I also feel the change in writing duties bodes well, because who wants to spend all that time talking about history and relationships and blah blah blah? I say every page should be a splash page featuring The Watchmen jumping out of a helicopter in order to fight an opposing group of other super-powered characters, like maybe the zombie corpse of Moloch shooting laser beams from his undead eyes!!1!

This definitely is going to rock, I can’t wait to read it."

A Pair of Watchnuts

A pair of unrelated Watchmen Peanuts mashups brought to my attention by Jimmy Aquino

The first is a drawing done by Jeff Parker for "Who Watches the Watchnuts" as featured in a 1989 issue of Comic Scene.



The second is a later illustration done by Evan Shaner who had no knowledge of the previous existing Jeff Parker parody.

A Super Power You Didn't Know About (NSFW)

"In some parallel universe, Joel Schumacher made a Watchmen movie in the 90’s, and this is the video game tie-in. I think the animations were taken directly from the old Sega game Altered Beast, but I could be wrong." (from source)

I once read that it's okay to show Doctor Manhattan's dong in any situation because it's not really a penis, like the rest of his body, it's just his mental projection of a penis. By the way, the whole time you were reading that you were thinking about a giant blue penis.

How can one not excuse these customs being of the film watchmen rather than the book while giggling at a Bubastis that looks like garfield? Go to the source listed below for more pictures of these great cutoms by Blubbel.
