Doomsday Clock - Let's Discuss 0

[UnboxingTreasures]

Ill have to give it a second read to go back and pick up on some of the nuances I missed, but I think the initial issue is a good one.

 

The "alternate Rorschach" -- I think "strange" is a good word for him.

 

Very interested in how they tie in the superheroes into this storyline.

All I know is that my closest LCS had VERY many, many, of them 

[fastballspecial]

And that's okay as long as its a good story that draws in readers. If its dud then its Convergence all over again.

I’m hoping it’s a good read. Geoff Johns is one of my favourite writers. He did wrote : Blackest Day , Flashpoint, GL Rebirt. Plus he made Greenlantern cool (again?)

Wish I could.  Pretty much every store sold out the 1st day.

Let me know when there's a Jim Lee variant cover

I could probably grab one for you on Wednesday.  My LCS had a lot of them, so, they should still have some.

Know of any links that review the actual story?

Regarding Moore, I think it's safe to say he wasn't necessarily treated fairly in regards to creative rights, but Moore is also a self-admitted individual_without_enough_empathy who is difficult to work with.

They have one on that site.

Wether or not Moore is a jerk doesn't matter in regards to how D.C. Has continued to expoilt Watchmen.  The four parts of that article do a good job summing it up.

I might be missing it but the article says they won't be covering Doomsday Clock.

Haha, I just went to read it and saw that.

Well, only took 7 posts to get the thread off track, lol. 

Hope as the thread progresses we can concentrate on the actual story.

It was a great read. Really looking forward to see where this goes. Got my copy signed by Geoff at the midnight release party.

There is a theory that Rorshcach is 

Spoiler

The kid of the psychiatrist from the original. He has a mug on his desk that says "dad".

I've seen some commercials for it and it has me intrigued.   That said, I'll wait for the trade.

Picked up the shiny version (for 6 damn dollars! Insanity!) last Wednesday and finally read it yesterday. I generally object to the idea of Watchmen being cheapened like this, but since it's well underway, why resist? The first issue was fine. I liked Gary Frank's art.

[FutureFlash]

I picked up both the midnight variant and the lenticular cover. Read it over the weekend, I thought it was pretty good. If Johns can keep it up, I think Doomsday clock can be fairly well accepted sequel to the Watchmen...but let's be honest it will never be the real sequel due to the lack of involvement from Moore and Gibbons.

I really enjoyed this. The first few pages were on point I think. I'll be reading it through at least.

[D-Optimist]

the writing felt like a cheap imitation of Alan Moore...

i'm a harsh critic with everything though...

cool comic but its mandatory that it should be monumental due to watchmen setting the precedence...

I downloaded it from iBooks a few days back and forgot all about it. Will hit it right now.
