Reason #5742 why John Byrne should be nuked from orbit . . .

For suggesting this: John Byrne Wants Rob Liefeld On Watchmen 2 Bleeding Cool Comic Book News and Rumors

Basically he thinks Rob Liefeld should write a prequel to Watchmen.

If this happens I can share with my grandchildren the day comics died.

Heh, it would be straight out, full on parody, but I bet it'd be both the worst and most hilarious thing ever, whether it was intentional or not.

See also, The Dark Knight Strikes Back. A book that I see at the used bookstore all the time...and with all the credit I have there, have been constantly tempted to pick up.

I think that Byre is actually having a little bit of a sense of humor with this article, he actually says that it would make retailers heads explode. :aaahhh:

It's the same thing with Tarantino saying he wants to remake Citizen Kane, just to piss people off...

...especially when he changes it so "rosebud" is the name that Kane gives to his wife's pussy. No, seriously, that's a true story. He said it in an interview somewhere. I doubt he was 100% serious.

Tarantino was probably referencing the fact that rosebud was supposedly William Randolph Hearst's name for his mistresses' clitoris.
