And the perfect way to reinvent/redefine the history of DC's multiverse. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone, so I'll just say this was (for me) the perfect blending of the Watchmen into the DC universe.

Not only that but who is the glue that holds the entire DC multiverse together. Playing with the past, altering the future, and seeing what exactly makes this particular version of Earth so special. Manhattan is still parked on Mars, studying the Rebirth version of Earth. The Watchmen world is on the verge of nuclear war and once again it is Adrien who has decided on a way to correct the course of history. Johns' story picks up and imagines that Adrien has been found out and the tentative peace that the world had found is over. You're left to determine your own ending as you see fit. Rorschach is dead, but his diary (detailing Veidt's crimes) is in the hands of a newspaper. Ok, at the end of Watchmen, Adrien has 'saved his world' by using a really dirty trick that killed a lot of people. <-and yeah, there's probably a bit of that happening here, but if I had the right to profit off of something I would most certainly do it, too. Honestly, I thought it would probably be a goes-nowhere sort of story that was more than likely a blatant attempt to milk that cash cow. So when Doomsday Clock popped up on my radar, I didn't think much about it. Remember all that foreshadow-y BUTTON stuff that came out?īut then it sort of petered out while a new bearded Superman showed up and Batman went of his Heavy Metal tour. So long, in fact, that I'd forgotten about it and had stopped being excited to see what part Dr. This storyline has been in the works for a while. If it is yours, I absolutely respect your opinion and completely agree that the story is one of the most iconic graphic novels ever written. I'm not a huge fan of the original Watchmen comic because it's just not my jam. Remember all that foreshadow-y Oh, man! This was actually really good! Oh, man! This was actually really good! I'm not a huge fan of the original Watchmen comic because it's just not my jam.
