I'm hearing it should be called 'WatchMEH'.
Early responses seem pretty in line with that unfortunately Shame, I'd hoped it'd be good, Rorschach is one of my favourite comic characters.

Above average for the medium but nothing really special. I don't know if you'd like any of Grant Morrison's work but I thought a lot of that was quite good, particularly Doom Patrol and The Invisibles. Along with Garth Ennis for Hellblazer or Preacher.
Not read Lucifer, or even heard of the writers, is it any good?
Nope, I haven't read those. I'm kinda new to the whole Anglo-American comics thing; I've been following the Franco-Belgian stuff more, and only got into it via Sandman about two years ago.
I liked it a lot. The series is written by Mike Carey, and based on Lucifer as imagined by Neil Gaiman in The Sandman. I've only read it up to Volume 9 (Crux), though. IMO it's not quite up to the flights of fantasy of Sandman at its best (but then few things are); however, it's a good deal more consistent in style, narrative, and quality. I'd say that if you liked The Sandman, you're probably going to like Lucifer too. I certainly liked it more than Swamp Thing.
W00t! My brother has found a publisher for his third book
I suspect he's lying about the content though.
Just saw this--congratz. I hope his other books share that particular bloggish sense of humor. I'm planning on ordering Thunderer as we speak.
On the alan moore note, who's looking forward to the Watchmen movie?
I saw it and loved it. It 80-85% exactly as the graphic novel. And I mean many lines and scenes were exactly as the comic. And Rorschach was amazing. Jackie Earle Haley did a great job of portraying him. So it's definitely not MEH imo.
