Now I'm not saying God at all, but just imagine like these, here's our reality, and here's these beings that work here and have written the code for our reality, and they're just back here where we can't see them, and then once in a while they're like, "You know what? Let's go inside and fuck with these guys."

AdamHOST
But let's not talk about current day.
AdamHOST
Let's go way back, even past the 2000s.
AdamHOST
Because as we kick things off here, we got to mention that this issue of Wizard featured an 80s nostalgia comic book prequel.

Nathan CabanissHOST
Rumors began to swirl that Quesada flew over to England to meet with Moore in person, to begin talks, and to see if there was any way that previously burned bridges could be mended.
Nathan CabanissHOST
And in Wizard number 119 from August of 2001, the following news blurb appears.
Nathan CabanissHOST
The industry rumor mill suggests that Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada recently had a very long meeting with Watchmen creator Alan Moore.
Nathan CabanissHOST
DC was reportedly very unhappy about the meeting, as Quesada's been quite outspoken about trying to bring the ABC maestro into the Marvel fold.
Nathan CabanissHOST
Although he was open to contributing a story for that benefit book, Moore wasn't otherwise willing to dive headfirst into the house of ideas anytime soon, as the long-standing issues the writer had with Marvel remained in place.
Nathan CabanissHOST
As far as what needed to happen for Moore to even consider repairing his relationship with Marvel...
Nathan CabanissHOST
Future issues of Wizard provide a little more context.
Nathan CabanissHOST
Wizard number 125 from February of 2002 contains a write-up in their 2002 preview, where readers learn a little bit of what it would take for Moore to do anything for Marvel Comics.
