Watchmen Prequel?

Did you ever wonder about the early adventures of the Watchmen before they joined the super team? According to Bleeding Cool, four different prequels are scheduled for some of the characters from that miniseries. You'll recall that each character's solo adventures were briefly hinted at, during the miniseries. We would've loved to see Rorschach and Nite Owl's adventures together.  How about portraying Dr. Manhattan and Silk Spectre, during their night patrols, before they fell in love?

While the planned projects have been criticized for further trying to milk this franchise, we say, why not? The adventures of the Dark Knight, don't begin and end with Frank Miller.  If the stories are done well then let's go forward.  Original artist Dave Gibbons along with Andy and Joe Kubert are rumored to be onboard as well.
