As some of you may have heard, there have been rumours circulating of DC doing a prequel (sequel?) to Alan Moore's Watchmen series. Whether or not that actually comes to fruition, only time will tell, though to be honest I'm not sure how I feel about DC releasing a prequel/sequel myself since I felt the original series was perfect the way it was.
Nevertheless, BleedingCool released an image of Silk Spectre II by Amanda Conner, with a different variation to the original costume. Whether or not this piece is in relation to the much speculated Watchmen prequel/sequel is still a rumour, but still looks good!

For legality, how about some Rorschach and Nite Owl II? It's one of my favourite scenes. :3

Date: 2012-01-03 11:28 am (UTC)As is the fact that Laurie's costume 'doesn't say a lot about her'; It wouldn't. That's part of the point, to me. We're meant to get the feeling, I think, that her mother is living through her after she was unceremoniously ejected from the Minutemen after what happened with the Comedian, which is one of the reasons Laurie's costume looks a lot like her mother's. And again, the original Silk Spectre's designed in the image of say, a Phantom Lady or something along those lines, but both Silk Spectres are actually a fair bit deeper than the original incarnations of characters like Phantom Lady.

Date: 2012-01-03 11:34 am (UTC)I also don't see her becoming the second Comedian, because she still doesn't seem incredibly accepting of him when she understands what went on between him and her mother, just merely that she's more unusual - or special, as Manhattan puts it, because of the nature of their union.

Date: 2012-01-02 04:02 pm (UTC)Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind reading minis or graphic novels that focussed on each of the main characters individually prior to the events of Watchmen, but I'm not sure if I want a direct sequel since I feel that would diminish the impact of the ending of the original Watchmen series. :(
