I can easily envision the idea that there's a "Watchmen" universe that is essentially the prequel universe, not unlike the "alternate timeline" version of "Star Trek" from the Abrams movie. That universe will be the one that teams up with the DCU. And we will probably find out that the "prequels" are actually just tales from the alternate universe, where the events of the Moore novel may or may not happen someday (kind of like how DC couldn't decide for a while in the 80s-90s whether DKR was Elseworlds or not). There is kinda one but it does have definite differences. It is the one that Allen Adam is from in Final Crisis:Superman Beyond 3-D. He looks like Doc Manhattan but not quite the same. I don't know if the other guys are more like their Charlton or Watchmen versions, though.

Recommendation on a scale of one to ten?

Milligan's writing both that and Animal Man (where he seems to be tying The Red into some of Swamp Thing's Elemental history in very subtle ways... like The Red literally bleeding into the fabric of what all living things grow from) I'm enjoying both, but I don't buy a ton of comics anymore anyway (just 5 ongoings a month) so there obviously could be some stuff out there that might be better because I honestly don't know much about most of the comics that are out nowadays and I really don't give much of a shit about traditional superhero comics anymore.
