Hundreds of state department employees probably worked for 30 years on sanctions, diplomacy, and building trust to get that agreement. Trump blew it all up (including inflation and the economy) because that's how racist he is. Can't let a black man get a win, under any circumstances.

Because in the Green Lantern comic it came from, the hero's girlfriend got dismembered and stuffed in his fridge. Killing off female characters for the sake of easy drama is especially prevalent in superhero comics, extending way before this specific issue (see Gwen Stacy to start). But this incident is what prompted fantastic writer Gail Simone to coin the phenomenon's comic-related incarnation.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

It's got a hilarious and fun single player campaign where you get to play as all three factions. Obviously, playing as the giant monster and elbow-dropping buildings is the most fun, but the rest are highly enjoyable as well. Vintage Shiny at its best. Available on Steam, I just recently found out.

It wasn't quite as simple as that. From what I remember, the rights to Watchmen were supposed to revert to him after the book went out of print. But DC just kept the book in print forever, denying Moore any say in what was done. Keep in mind this wasn't normally done at the time, it was a pretty underhanded move they pulled, especially after Moore did so much good work for them (Swamp Thing, Green Lantern, the Phantom Stranger, etc.).

They screwed him, make no doubt.
