I don’t know if you guys caught this, but this whole “Before Watchmen” deal has been pretty controversial. For a number of reasons, but there’s been one big bearded reason that has dominated the press lately.
Say what you will about the character of the creators working on this project, but I can say one thing assuredly: they’re talented as all hell. The artists in particular, including names like Darwyn Cooke, Lee Bermejo and Amanda Connor, are all absurdly gifted and in an array of images shared by BuzzFeed, show that they are perfect fits for the project.
Click through the jump to see those images, unless your principles don’t allow you to do so. In which case, I suggest moving on!
