Coming from DC this fall: More Before Watchmen

In a Thumbcast exclusive, we can reveal the second wave of Before Watchmen titles coming later this year.

Bubastis is a four-part story looking at the origins of Ozymandias’ faithful genetically engineered supercat.  Subtitled The Lynx Effect, it will tell of how Adrian Veidt’s life was saved from a hoard of rampaging pheromonal women by the sacrifice of Bubastis’ mother, leading to Veidt growing and nurturing the supercat in her honour.

Psychic Squid is a six-part story telling of the life and adventures of the giant celaphopod which destroys New York and inadvertently brings about world peace before the traumatic trip across the dimensions.  A crime fighter in its own dimension, the true origins of OctoPsych and his plucky empathic langoustine sidekick The Shrimp will leave you in tears.

Moloch: The Vegas Years is a one-shot which tells how pointy-eared supervillain Edgar Jacobi turned to a life of crime after being driven out of his successful show at the Palms by David Copperfield, and the terrible revenge he inflicted on the hairy-chested gitwizard.

All three titles will be in bound with old rope special editions later in the Fall.
