From the NYX hardcover collection: “Few other artists have had a more impressive debut in the industry than Joshua Middleton. His creator owned series Sky Between Branches for Com.X drew rave reviews for Middleton’s delicately detailed line work. Following stints on Meridian for Crossgen and NYX for Marvel, Middleton went on to illustrate First Thunder for DC, chronicling the first meeting between Superman and Captain Marvel. In addition to his sequential artwork, Middleton was honored in 2004 with an Eisner Award nomination for Best Cover Artist.” Words by: joshuamiddleton.com
It all started when The Gunseller and Rontronik sent me production photos of the Watchmenmovie over iChat,What was all the fuss about?
Back in day the I never thought about reading graphic novels from DC Comics except for Alex Ross’s Kingdom Come, I was strictly on the Marvel Comics tip. We who are of the Conglomerate discuss many topics related to sci-fi and comics but nothing sparks a heated discussion about storylines and characters like the Watchmen. Everyone has their favorite character and discusses in detail why they’ve made such a choice. During these discussions I follow along and think to myself, why are these Catz jocking DC characters that aren’t from the Justice League?
I decided to find out for myself when I came across the Watchmen at the Virgin Megastore. It was 20 bucks and had some weight to it, so why not?… I’m here today making a proclamation. The Watchmen is one of the most compelling and timeless literary works of our generation. In its 20 years it’s stood the test of time. In its writing it occasionally foreshadows what American Society could be destined for. Alan Moore (V for Vendetta and The Swamp Thing) along with the artwork of Dave Gibbons have created a literary classic.
I’m sure some of you are asking the question “Is he serious?”, it’s a “Comic Book”. No, It’s a graphic novel that has won a Hugo Award and is in Time Magazine’s 2005 list of “the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present. When you go to see the Dark Knight and help it possibly hit a $100 million dollar opening, peep the Watchmen trailer and see why good storytelling can transcend the genre in which it was created… I digress, peep the trailer here if you can’t wait. I know I couldn’t, It’s Fierce!
From now when a discussion comes up about the Watchmen,the character I’m repping is Rorshach
