Check out the new Watchmen video journal from JoBlo.com.

Enter the Watchmen “Veidt Enterprises Advertising Contest” and create TV commercials that could end up in the feature film Watchmen! Watch the clip from Zack below:

Remember, the movie is set in 1985, so TV commercials should be in 4:3 aspect ratio (so it looks like standard TV, not widescreen) and they should be either 15, 30 or 60 seconds in length. The products are all made by “Veidt Enterprises,” and you can download the product logos for your use as well. (more…)

The company will unveil four of these action-figure prototypes at New York Comic-Con on Friday, April 18, but EW has your exclusive peek at two of them — steadfast vigilante Rorschach and nice-guy superhero Nite Owl — which will hit stores in January 2009 at around $14.99. — Nisha Gopalan
