Alan Moore wouldn't do a follow up to watchmen, with good reason, so arguing that the new lineup is inferior to Moore isn't really an argument. Watchmen was a serialized comic book produced by a large publisher, and a publisher's willingness to extend a comic book series for profit is literally endless. That's how the…
