I'm sure that this has been discussed a million times already but what are your thoughts on doomsday clock? I was finally able to read #3 and hot mama it was brilliant. I never would have thought that a sequel to watchmen could work but this has proven me wrong.

I too am enjoying it. But I wish Superman would show up again.

I think in the next issue rorschach is going to meet up with Saturn Girl in Arkham and we’ll hopefully finally find out why she’s here. Also I love that Rita Farr seems to be becoming a big player both with Doomsday Clock and Milk Wars

It's a Johns event comic. It will be an entertaining trainwreck that squanders good ideas and ends ant-climatically.

it's weird in that it's a trainwreck but not in the way that event comics are usually trainwreck. It's Geoff Johns trying to write smart comics, and do homage-y shit to Watchmen, but with none of the nuance of that comic. His scripts alone probably don't even have the same level of craft as an Alan Moore comic. The comic is at its most enjoyable when its being stereotypically Johns-Y ironically (see Mime actually having invisible guns, or Lex Luthor chastising Ozymandias), but the good moments are few and far between. It makes stupid decisions like reviving the Comedian, or having the new Rorschach try to imitate the mannerisms of the old one.
I'm just utterly divided on it. If it brings the JSA and LOSH back, then I'm all for it.

If time is restored following the events of Doomsday clock, will the events of convergence be taken in consideration?

Frank is such an overrated artist

>it was brilliant
brainlets everyone

>I'm just utterly divided on it. If it brings the JSA and LOSH back, then I'm all for it.
This.
To me, in the end, it doesn't really matter. It's ok so far, but I won't mind dropping it as soon as it starts to suck. All I want is to continuity to be restored.

it would be ok if it stopped trying to be Watchmen and was just a big dumb Johns comic

instead it just ends up shit

Well, it in no way worked as a sequel to Watchmen for one. It reads like bad fanfic and Johns has no idea how to write any of the Watchmen character. I especially hate his Rorschach. Rorschach's speech mannerisms were gruff and brief, here however Nuschach just sounds like a retard. One can argue it's bad on purpose for whatever reason but I find it more likely that Johns just doesn't understand the subtleties of Rorschach's manner of speaking. Doomsday Clock was almost guaranteed to be a shitshow from the outset since neither Moore or Gibbons are involved in its creation but if you're going to make a sequel to Watchmen you should at least get a writer and artist of similar caliber. Frank is ok but I haven't seen a single scene that looks anything close to being memorable or iconic and his coloring doesn't really do the story justice. Johns on the other hand is a corporate hack and doesn't deserve to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Watchmen.

this. so much. if he wasn't trash I wouldn't be concerned which logo batman had on his suit but in the last issue batman had the oval and on the cover he didn't.

He was basically wearing the earth one suit with some MILD changes. it certainly looked more like that than the rebirth suit. No matter how many anons in the story time said it didn't.

unless the cape connects to the emblem and you can see his eyes, it's not the Earth One suit, because that's literally the only difference

I didn't say it was the earth one suit.

You're trying to be overly specific for some reason instead of focusing on the crux of my post: the cover and interiors had different batsuits and since the artist is shit we don't know if it was intentional or not.

Shit taste, this comic is awful

Better than the shit marvel puts out

objectively incorrect

I was talking about the stuff they put out now

so was I

Shieet I thought they discontinued marvel max. My bad

this is why Sup Forums gets a bad rap. Faggots like you. If your opinion was worth anything you'd have known that was on shelves. Every issue has been story timed here.

Absolute fire. Gun stealing issue was my favorite so far.

Years from now, Doomsday Clock is going to be considered a sequel as much as people put stock in Before Watchmen.

>Years from now
try right now

Pretty much. Doomsday Clock is just a vapid attempt by DC to cash in on Watchmen's popularity like Before Watchmen was years ago. Like I thought making a Watchmen prequel was a stupid idea at the time, I never thought DC would go full Jew and make an actual sequel that also ends up being a big crossover with the DCU. I love how Johns tries to act like he only made Doomsday Clock because right now was the perfect climate for it or whatever bullshit he's said about it since it's exceedingly clear the concept was always a corporate mandate from the higher ups to coincide with the new HBO show.

Doomsday Clock has been received a bit more favorably than BW, probably since it's still riding the fumes of Rebirth Special #1. Also, reddit loves it.

comics reddit has even worse taste than Sup Forums

Reddit loves Watchmen too.

Funny enough, I remember there being rumored that they were kicking around a "After Watchmen" title, but I'm guessing either the reception or lack of sales killed that.

> make an actual sequel that also ends up being a big crossover with the DCU
And that's its biggest problem. Johns should have either done a straight sequel or an event that focused on DC's continuity. Instead he's trying to do both and the product suffers for it.

If anything is killing the product, it’s definitely the hiatuses in between, since the hype wil go down and people will most likely forget about it

Honestly, any Watchmen title not made made by Moore or Gibbons was doomed to mediocrity from the start. Without them, it's little more than DC sanctioned fanfic.

only contrarians don't. Just because I hate smarmy fat faggots on college campuses calling it the pinnacle of the medium while looking down their nose at literally everything else, indie or capeshit, as if it's for children doesn't mean that it isn't good.

Watchman is great. Issue 4 alone solidifies that. but all of it is fantastic.

It's OK. The 3rd issue is the best one by far. If it can maintain that level of quality then it might actually be remembered as pretty decent.

I like Doomsday Clock and the Mime and Marionette especially but...It's true their skills were taken from an anime aired last year

I swear to FUCK the mods better ban you before the next issue comes out

Why? is Johns your god or something? LOL

It isn't as awful as i thought it'd be, but it is extremely mediocre. If it was it's own thing it would be fine, even good, but since it presumes to be the legitimate sequel to Watchmen it invites comparisons that don't do it any favors.

Doomsday Clock has been interesting, Watchmen was interesting too but certain aspects of it weren't my cup of tea anyway I wasn't expecting the best sequel for Watchmen since the purpose is obviously an ongoing so stuff like the resurrection of the Comedian were going to happen

One of the best books published by DC in recent years though DC has had few really good books in a while. I hate the bimonthly schedule by the way

It won't bw officially good till the comedian punches a woman and maims a hippie

shit opinion

>thoughts on doomsday clock?

I thought it would be a Superman centric story, like from the start.

That we would be following Superman (and maybe Batman for the $$) as he tries to uncover the mystery behind the altered reality, stolen years and finally encounter Manhattan (and JSA, Legion, etc). Maybe get Wally to talk about things he saw in the Speed Force.

What we got instead has been so disappointing. It screams cash-grab on almost every fucking page.

I don't think it's badly written or awful, but it's just so... souless.

I’m enjoying the ride and if this brings back some old favorites (Alan,Jay,JSA,LOSH and etc) then event would be completely worth it

you dumb niggers have the worst attention span. we're 3 issues in, out of 12, your precious little superman has plenty of time to show up after all of the groundwork and world building has been set

This is what happens when you spend more time reading internet outrage than actual comics.

I remember you saying the same whit about darkseid war. How did that end johnsfag? Storytime of pain

>the worst attention span.

It's not about attention span,or how many issues there are, you moron.

Doomsday Clock being a Watchmen sequel (and a disastrously shitty one at that) is my problem with it.

Explaining what happened after Watchmen in that universe, using Ozy, Rorschach, Comedian, and two OC characters is the dumbest, greediest, souless decision made by DC.

There was absolutely no need to use any of the Watchmen characters except Manhattan.

But Duncan had that power in Mind MGMT over 5 years ago and I doubt Kindt was the first guy to come up with this power. Stay in your Sup Forums vacuum.

If It were a plot following Superman It wouldn't catch my attention in the same way besides the story of the 3 Jokers has to involve Batman since Joker is from Batman.

>If It were a plot following Superman It wouldn't catch my attention in the same way

Why not? It's fucking Superman.
Do you feel a Watchmen sequel written by Johns is more interesting?

I do agree about the 3 Jokers thing.

The Doomsday Clock is a conspiracy by fake scientists (liberals) to undermine America leadership.

>to undermine America leadership.

You are a moron. the doomsday clock is NATO propaganda to justify interventions and military expending.

the timing is remarkable still and still Johns would have copied it.
