DC Comic's "Before Watchmen" TV Commercial

DC Entertainment produced a TV spot for the upcoming Watchmen prequel, 'Before Watchmen'. There isn't much information in it besides pumping up it's relation to "the best-selling graphic novel of all time." The much beloved and heralded masterpiece by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is being given some background in the form of a mini-series by DC's top talent. The project has been controversial for the company. Besides the sullying of a classic some fans have called it a money grab. Considering the high quality writers and artists involved I trust they'll do it justice.

Fast Company has more details:

The seven distinct Before Watchmen comic book mini-series will feature separate, but occasionally overlapping, backstories of individual characters comprising the Watchmen universe. The series’ day-and-date release is June 6. The day before, the 30-second commercial will appear on IFC, BBC America, and G4, as well as social media, while an extended one-minute ad runs on the DC Comics site. With programming like The Onion News Network, Dr. Who, and Attack of the Show, these cable networks tend to attract comic-friendly viewers.
