I see what you're saying but I think you're missing the forest for the trees re: Moore's objection. It's not about someone writing the further adventures of Rorshach; it's about the context of that in an industry that is content to wallow in nostalgia rather than create anything new or meaningful. Almost all of the industry heavy hitters came out nearly two decades ago. That's just embarrassing. Contrast that with what Moore is doing when he uses previously established characters...
