Tom King is many things, but a good secret-keeper he’s not. Over the past year or so, he’s tweeted a number of references to working on something “Watchmen” related, and this week, we found out what it is. A year-long maxiseries, “Rorschach” is a collaboration between King and Jorge Fornes which tells a new story in the “Watchmen” universe. We know very little about the story, like whether this is the Rorschach II, aka Reggie, from “Doomsday Clock,” or if this is somehow a story about Walter Kovacs.
What we do know is that this book will be quite divisive among comic readers, for a variety of reasons. Whether you believe that any “Watchmen” related work without Alan Moore’s blessing is bad, or you’re just tired of King’s particular brand of storytelling, it’s hard to think of another recent comic with as much bad-will built up from the first moment of its announcement.
So, if you’re planning on reading it or not, we want to know what lead you to that decision. Vote in our Reader Poll, and check back on Monday for the results!
