I've never heard of that! (I specialize in Kubrick & Golan-Globus; I'm fuzzy on everything else.)

This is the I Love Comics board, what do you mean by coming over here with no knowledge of a series set completely outside the continuity of every other comic book in publication that only ran for 16 issues three decades ago

that's not a quote from Alan Moore, it's a quote from Tuomas!
― Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid),
so it is.apologies.thought he was referring to the AM interview linked above as opposed to quoting himself on a dead ilm board.

TBF, I'm sure many people who've read the comic have thought of Veidt's plan as being flawed in that way, Lindelof included.

If Dr. Manhattan had just destroyed all nukes on earth, like the Star Child in 2001 or Superman in Superman IV, there wouldn't be a need for any of it.
This is discussed in the comic, and Dr. Manhattan admits he probably couldn't destroy all the nukes in time before some of them hit their targets, so that option is off the table.

I don’t recall that, but not surprised it was addressed (why does he have to wait for their launch to be imminent, though? he can’t just teleport around the globe and vaporize them on the DL?)

(Tho I guess the nuclear powers could always just built more nukes... which is a variation on the continuous-squid problem being discussed. How do you truly end a cold war, etc.)
