We've already seen what The Comedian and Rorschach and a few other Watchmen heroes were up to before we met them in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons classic miniseries—but what about Dr. Manhattan? Well, he's the star of the last of the seven comics in the inter-connected Before Watchmen series, and we've got the first look right here.

We already knew original Watchmen creator Alan Moore isn't a fan of the new Before Watchmen run of prequel comics. He's so opposed, in fact, that he apparently turned down about $2 million when DC asked for his blessing. Now that's sticking to your convictions.

The cool panels just keep coming, and now we know what to expect at Day 3 of San Diego Comic-Con 2012, coming up July 12-15.

The Comedian has never really been known for his scruples about killing, and the first issue of his Before Watchmen series uses that to add another layer to his place in American mythology. According to The Comedian writer Brian Azzarello, it seems he was responsible for one of the most famous deaths of the '60s. SPOILERS AHEAD!
