Doomsday Clock Part 1 | Geoff Johns
2 posts | 5 read
The world of Watchmen collides with the DC Universe in the most shocking story in DC history! Written by master storytellers Geoff Johns and Gary Frank--As the Doomsday Clock ticks toward midnight, the DC Universe will encounter with its greatest threat: Dr. Manhattan. But nothing is hidden from Manhattan, and the secrets of the past, present and future will leave ramifications on our heroes lives forever. Something is amiss in the DC Universe. Following the events of DC Universe: Rebirth and Batman/The Flash: The Button, Geoff Johns (Flashpoint, Justice League, DC Universe: Rebirth) and Gary Frank (Batman: Earth One, Shazam!, DC Universe: Rebirth) reunite to rewrite the past and future of the DC Universe in a story hailed as a masterpiece! Seven years after the events of Watchmen, Adrian Veidt has been exposed as the murderer of millions. Now a fugitive, he has come up with a new plan to save his once-adoring world: find Dr. Manhattan. Alongside a new Rorschach and the deadly Mime and Marionette, he arrives in the DC Universe and finds it on the brink of collapse. International tensions are running rampant with The Supermen Theory implicating the U.S. government in creating superhumans to maintain global dominance! But what is Dr. Manhattan doing in the DC Universe? And how is he related to the events of DC Universe: Rebirth and Batman/The Flash: The Button? Collects Doomsday Clock #1-6

Ugh, what a slogging mess. Overly complicated and boring. I can't imagine reading the second half.

Bookwomble I'm sure Alan Moore was thrilled by this! 4y
RamsFan1963 Sadly, it just gets worse as it goes on. Gary Frank's artwork is outstanding but the story is a dumpster fire worthy of 2020. 4y
TieDyeDude @ramsfan1963 Yeah, I figured it wasn't much since I barely heard anyone talk about it. The art was excellent, though 4y
RamsFan1963 @TieDyeDude I expected better from Geoff John's, but from what I understand, there was quite a bit of interference from upper management. The whole idea of blending the Watchman universe with the mainline DC universe was just plain bad. 4y
TieDyeDude @RamsFan1963 The TV show was excellent, but even though capitalism won't allow it, they should leave it at one season and retire the Watchmen brand entirely. I don't see what they add to the DC universe... 4y

"This is the closest the clock has ever been to doomsday and as close as it was in 1953, at the height of the Cold War."
