"DC Comics has announced a Before Watchmen: Moloch miniseries. J Michael Straczynski will write the previously rumoured two-issue series alongside 100 Bullets artist Eduardo Risso.  Bill Sienkiewicz has also been announced to be joining the writer as inker on Nite Owl from issue #3 following the death of Joe Kubert. &amp;quot;Most of what we know [about Moloch] from the material in the first book is expressed in narrative, in bits and pieces in Under the Hood and elsewhere - we don&amp;#039;t actually see any of it, and thus we don&amp;#039;t understand the why of the what,&amp;quot; Straczynski told Comic Book Resources. &amp;quot;Yes, we know he went through all these changes, but what prompted it? How did it happen and what did it mean? I wanted to give his history the same serious treatment we were giving to all the heroic characters.&amp;quot; Moloch has already been seen briefly in the Comedian and Ozymandias miniseries. Sienkiewicz will be inking Joe Kubert&amp;#039;s son Andy Kubert&amp;#039;s pencils for the remainder of Before Watchmen: Nite Owl. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve known Joe Kubert and his family for more than 30 years, and taught a semester at the Kubert School,&amp;quot; he told The Source. &amp;quot;Joe&amp;#039;s sudden passing was devastating to me. I&amp;#039;d always considered him unstoppable. A master of artistry and discipline. I am proud and honored to have been asked to continue his work on the Nite Owl series, and to be able to collaborate with his son, Andy, again after so many years. I feel a part of a son&amp;#039;s touching tribute to his father.&amp;quot; Straczynski is currently writing Before Watchmen: Nite Owl and Before Watchmen: Dr Manhattan as part of the prequel project.
