There is a qualitative difference between what Moore is doing with the literary characters in LoEG and simply telling another superhero story. Not only would publishing more adventures of the Watchmen characters effectively be no different than plugging along with any other corporate franchise, it would fundamentally miss the point of the original book. LoEG/Lost Girls on the other hand don't work without their literary characters intact, because the books are about what those characters represent and their ongoing legacies in our culture.

Comparing the two misses the point of both.
