** Subverted with ''Dr. Manhattan'' when the Crimebusters scene is presented in a retconned version that doesn't correlate with what it was like in the original ''Watchmen''.
** For ''Ozymandias'':
*** Several passages where Adrian describes his past are taken verbatim from the original ''Watchmen.'' The first issue is about 50% recycled, in fact.
*** The Crimebusters scene is repeated word for word, but with new art.
*** The part where Moloch meets Adrian after being released from prison has Adrian greeting him saying the exact same thing as in the ''Moloch'' series, though Adrian's posture isn't the same, and his car is a different model.
* [[SequelGap Prequel Gap]]: Around 25 years after the last issue of Watchmen was initially published.
* ScheduleSlip: Several of the series have been delayed for unspecified reasons.

* Obviously, some of the characters appearing in these books were created especially for these series; that is to say, they didn't appear in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''. However, none of the new characters appear in more than one title. This means that even though each writer had the opportunity to create a new character that appeared in both his titles, nobody did. Why is this interesting? Well, there was a very real possibility that a writer would have created his own "universe" in his two books (kind of like how Aunt May shows up in ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' titles but never turn up in other character's books,) with shared characters and plot events, but what they all did was create books so different that you can't tell they were written by the same writers.
