DC did something vaguely similar by going exclusive with Diamond. It matters because it gives the companies more control over the retail side of the idustry. See the detailed answers section. • What is Alan Moore’s “Twilight?” Where can I find it? “Twilight” was a proposal for a company-wide crossover Alan Moore wrote for DC Comics. They didn’t use it, but it bears some *strong* similarities to such DC events as “Zero Hour” and “Millenium.” There are some striking but coincidental similarities to “Kingdom Come.” It used to be available on the web but was removed at DC’s request.
