Check out cartoonist Kevin Cannon’s Blotchmen, which was created as part of this year’s 24-Hour-Comics Day event in Minneapolis.

Fanciful, fun, and worth your time whether or not you’ve ever read Watchmen. It’s far more than just a spoof—it’s one of the more joyful things I’ve read all year.

Check out Brian Hughes’ report, over at Again With the Comics, on the upcoming animated series Young Watchmen: The Animated Adventures, in which Owlboy, Kid Rorschach, Spectra, Johnny Comedy, Manha-teen and Ozzy band together at Veidt High in the year 2085 “to protect the world that their ancestors saved.”

Writes Hughes:

The world is a very different place in the year 2085, but teen-agers still have to grow up, and the bad guys still need to be taken down!

Warner Bros. Digital Distribution and Warner Premiere announced today a way for young viewers to connect with one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of all time. “Young Watchmen: The Animated Adventures” draws inspiration from the source material to bring a visually engaging experience to life through the timeless medium of children’s animation!
