DC's Doomsday Clock

This final issue had better knock my socks off, but I sincerely doubt that it will.

Two years in the making and this is simply a mediocre story and fails massively to reach the standards of Watchmen.

Some of the individual issues have been good, and I like some of the concepts introduced in the series, but the event has been very lackluster as a whole. The final issue will probably just flesh out the dynamic between Superman and Manhattan, which I am looking forward to, tbh... Mainly because that is what this ENTIRE event has been leading up to.

I'm also curious what long term ramifications(to cosmology) there will be when this is wrapped up..? Manhattan has done a LOT of tampering to the universe/Metaverse, after all.

There's also Ozy to consider. Seems like he's masterminded pretty much everything.

My favorite issues have been the ones prominently featuring the stories of DC characters and cosmology rather than the Watchmen verse characters. Johns has a much better voice for DCs heroes. The Manhattan centered issue was cool though.

Doomsday Clock had no business being as boring as it turned out to be. Putin, Trump, Joker, Batman, Luthor, Black Adam, and such? Nobody asked for this. I wanted to read this for Superman and Manhattan’s conflicting ideologies. Not for Batman, Joker, and Geoff John’s Joker OCs to hog the spotlight so uselessly for 11/12th of the run.

It just seems like one of those books ppl are going to be talking about, and i'm going to wish i'd read/end up reading after the fact, so i'm just gonna go ahead and do it.
The Johns/Frank combo doesnt hurt either.

While I enjoyed the art throughout, I wish it would have been a book filled w. things worth seeing.

Issue 12 was a let down. This wasn’t worth waiting two years to finish.

^^^No, it really wasn’t.
I never expected this to be great, but, I really didn’t expect it to be boring.

This series was proof DC do not understand Watchmen. Almost as sacrilegious as the TV show. Reconstructing a basic Superhero plot from a deconstructionist story wasn't clever... It was retarded.

So now I'm wondering, if the DC universe gets rebooted, what does that mean for the Watchmen characters and the event? Does everything they did in the main DC world gets erased and they're restored back to their own universe after the events of the Watchmen like nothing happened? Or did the Doomsday Clock event still happen?
