Doomsday Clock #1

Thank you. Also, Jesus Christ that’s a lot.

you should actually include Morrison's new 52 run since it's literally referenced in the first issue.

Lol
Fuck this shit, I just read Watchmen and that's all I need

Who cares? Another event that will mean nothing after it ends.

Yeah, I'm not going to read probably any of this but maybe it'll be fun regardless. Everyone dies someday so shit can be kind of useless so just enjoy watching superman punch blue dick man

>Superman v3 #32
>Superman v3 #33
>Superman v3 #34
>Superman v3 #35
>Superman v3 #38
>Superman v3 #39
I'm guessing a lot of these are far from essential, but I've read these Superman issues and particularly want to know why they'd be relevant.

>reading a shitload of comics just so you can read Doomsday Clock
Woah!
Let me fix that for you friendo
>Watchmen #1-12
>stop here because who fucking cares
>don't read Doomsday Clock

I'll just wait for the trades, following the story in 8 different books is bullshit.

You forgot Before Watchmen.

can anyone confirm that you need to read all this in order to understand doomsday #1?

of course you fucking don't

>but nothing matters!
Nothing matters after any comic, user. Just read the story and stop being so concerned about how it effects muh status quo.

Or:
>Watchmen
>DC Universe Rebirth (optional)
>The Button (optional)
>Doomsday Clock

There you go

that's a lot of books to read a piece of shit.

Most of this is not needed. Even Watchmen itself is debatable.

Read literally just the Johns DCU Rebirth one-shot and MAYBE the Button but there wasn't even any information there either.

All that build up to that shitty comic? What a waste

This

I thought Johns said all you needed was Watchmen and the Rebirth one-shot.

Because money. Trying to ease readers that there are no hidden costs. But than shitting tons of optional tie-ins out, that are needed for full experience.

>reading all those shitty books to prepare for a shitty cash-in
just do a read through of everything Moore has done and skip dumb things by dumb writers?

Let me fix you
>Don't read anything
>Watch the Watchmen movie instead
>Actually don't do that either because 3 hours is too long
>Do something less shit instead, like taking an actual shit
There we go i fixed your life now you don't have to worry about the status quo anymore
