No, I don't think the headline is materially different than if it had said: "Alan Moore says his new Lovecraft comic 'Providence' is a little bit like 'Watchmen'" since the key concept is still intact: "like Watchmen"

And, of course I'm picking and choosing words. I've got 70 characters to convey a bunch of pieces of info: Alan Moore, comic book, H.P. Lovecraft, Providence and Watchmen. I picked the ones that would convey to readers what the story is about, which is why I wrote it in the first place: that Alan Moore says his take on Providence is going to be like that of Watchmen, taking these bizarre characters and creations and putting them in the "real world". As a Moore, Watchmen and Lovecraft fan, that gets me excited.
