Found this picture via Bleeding Cool:

the back cover to the next issue of Previews, dropping in a couple weeks. Copyright Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, held hostage by DC Comics, Inc.
I guess the already-leaked covers to all of the Before Watchmen comics in this catalog weren’t deemed good enough to promote this “event.”
And it’s probably safe to say that the 1-for-25 and 1-for-200 variant covers, all by other artists, haven’t been drawn and/or approved by DC yet?
I thought I’d suggest some alternate text for this cover:
meh.
ahem. sorry.
cha-ching!
please buy this before we have to cancel more New 52 titles
It’s just as good as Watchmen! Just like The Kingdom was just as good as Kingdom Come. Right? Right…?
we give up
DC: officially out of ideas
our Collected Editions department really needs a hit; we’re tired of cancelling solicited volumes every month
Any other ideas, readers? I don’t know about you, but I’m having a ball…
