Who watches the watchmen? A lot of people.

Newsarama story about a new, larger Watchmen edition.

Announced at today’s “Beyond the DC Universe” panel at WizardWorld LA was the next addition to DC’s very successful “Absolute” line this fall: Absolute Watchmen. The new edition of the classic Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons story is currently being adapted to the larger, “Absolute” format and recolored by original colorist John Higgins. The edition is being produced with the blessing of Alan Moore.

The edition will run 464 pages (and will also double as a blunt object if need be), and will be a complete reprinting not of the original series as published by DC, but of the Graphitti edition, a collection published by Graphitti in the late ‘80s that included 48 pages of extra material.

Guess I should start saving up for this now. I'm trying to figure what price point DC will ship this at, and it adds up to... expensive. But damn. Sounds worth it, depending on what the extras are.
