This new series have been heavily advertised also in Helsinki.
One cannot learn to practice yoga per se from this kind of comics narratives like Alan Moore ‘s original Watchmen, but one could use such a story to create a meditational mandala.
Sorry for my broken English.

…the hymns in the ninth mandala are arranged by both their prosody structure (chanda) and by their length…

Commenting on the trilogy in an interview, Burroughs said that he was “attempting to create a new mythology for the space age”.

“Meta” is Greek for “beyond”; “narrative” is a story that is characterized by its telling (it is communicated somehow).

Alan Moore’s storyline has two metanarratives; Tales of the Black Freighter is mainly visual and Rorschach’s journal is of course only verbal.
The Doomsdayclock as a symbol is not explained well enough, but Ozymandias’ admiration of William S. Burroughs’ cut-up technique is well chosen small, but significant detail how to meditationally start to work with the main narrative.
Sorry for my broken English.

…language in his contract with DC said the rights to the story would revert back to Moore and Gibbons once it went out of print, but Moore soon realized the publisher never intended for that to happen…
…Lindelof’s Watchmen series does not directly adapt Moore’s story, but rather tells a new one that takes place in a present-day version of the fictional world Moore and Gibbons first created three decades ago…
…in fact, many of the masked heroes in Moore’s Watchmen are based on characters originally from Charlton Comics, which had just been acquired by DC when Moore started conceiving of the idea…
…in 1988, a group of independent comic writers and artists drafted a “Creator’s Bill of Rights,” designed to help protect their ownership over material they created, and to avoid being exploited financially by publishers. Unlike most other fiction writing, comics are generally written as work-for-hire—meaning the publishers, not the authors, own the content, and can do with it what they wish.
Moore was one of the writers leading the charge against work-for-hire practices in the 1980s. Considering how much Hollywood today still runs on appropriating the work of others (Quartz member exclusive)—comic book writers and artists specifically—the Creator’s Bill of Rights probably hasn’t had the effect its signers intended…
