Those new Watchmen comics are coming whether we want them or not

Tweet
A few weeks back, we heard tell that those long-lived rumors that DC was
setting up a sequel to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' iconic graphic novel
Watchmen were more than just rumors. Now there's more news, and if
you're one of those fans who was rooting for the project to die, the
news isn't good.
Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston has unofficial (but apparently pretty
sound) confirmation from inside DC that none other than Andy
Kubertâ€"son of the legendary artist Joe Kubert and artist on
acclaimed DC titles like Grant Morrison's Batman & Son and Neil Gaiman's
Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?â€"is attached to draw at
least part of the new Watchmen project.
Kubert was one of several names rumored to be attached to the comic,
along with Final Crisis artist J.G. Jones, 100 Bullets creator and
Batman writer Brian Azzarello and Superman writer/Babylon 5 mastermind
J. Michael Straczynski. Johnston also noted that Andy "may not be the
only Kubert getting involved with this," which suggests a possible
return to DC for his brother Adam, who's been busy over at Marvel lately
drawing titles like Wolverine and Astonishing Spider-Man. Or, and this
would be really big, Joe Kubert might contribute his legendary pencil to
the project in some form. He's 85 and still drawing, so it could happen.
If it seems like this list is crowded with names, that's because we're
not talking about just one comic here. Word seems to be that the
Watchmen project will take the form of not one, but four miniseries, and
they won't be sequels, but prequels. Whether that means origin stories
or simply the adventures of the superhero team before everything went to
hell is unclear, but it seems like we'll definitely be dealing with the
past.
If you're ready to tug your hair out over all this, there is one bright
spot: Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons is reported to be involved. Apart
from having one of the original guys on board, what's the best-case
scenario for this? If we have to see more Watchmen, who's the best fit
for it?

Did you really think we'd have a say?

Looks like they're bringing in the Top Flight, and I have to say I'm
interested in what they might bring to the characters.

What is the problem? Either it's good and readers are better for it or it
stinks and it can be left to rot on the shelf.
