DC Comics unveiled recently that it will be publishing a limited series of issues as a prequel to Alan Moore's Watchmen. No doubt there are many fans out there who'll be happy about this, and many (including Moore himself, I'm sure) who will feel quite the opposite.
In other new, DC Comics has also been busy unveiling a new issue featuring a black Superman. In Action Comics #9, the story will explore an alternate Earth featuring the caped crusader in a way you’ve never seen him before.
The Horror Writers Association recently announced a very special award being voted on for “Vampire Novel of the Century.” Some of the more popular contenders include Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot, Richard Matheson’s I am Legend, and Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire.
And last but not least, for the die-hard fans that’ve been waiting decades for this, Tor has announced the official release date for the final book in the Wheel of Time series, A Memory of Light, for January 8, 2013. While this may seem a long way off, the last book is the longest yet from Brandon Sanderson, who was picked by Harriet McDougal (Robert Jordan’s wife) to complete the series. But Tor, along with Sanderson and Harriet feel this will be the latest possible release date for the final book. Sanderson also intimated on his blog that there is always a chance, if things go very well, that the release date could be moved up, but at least it won’t be pushed back any further.
