Readers of Doomsday Clock all SPOILERS thread

[Scott Taylor]

But then again, maybe he should show up so Manhattan can squish him like an annoying bug?

At the end of Doomsday Clock, Manhattan loses and declares that he owes Superman a favor.

In the next issue of Superman, it opens with Rogol Zar just standing there in the Negative Zone, then he explodes into a million pieces.

Coincidence? I think not!

Number Nine. You're only a day away!

Now, will number Ten get moved further out again from its current April 03 date?

Looks like most of the younger heroes (bar the Shazams!) aren't there. Wonder if that's an intentional choice (i.e They were benched from this suicide mission) or if they're there and just off panel.

Isn't this supposed to be a thread for readers of the series only?

Seems more like poor planning doesn't it? Or Johns is a secret genius who can see the future??

DDC is meant to be standalone, that’s why it’s set “in the future”. Johns isn’t spending his time worrying about whether everything lines up perfectly with current continuity. The goal here is for a new reader to pick this up and be able to read it having only read Watchmen.

I thought it was the sequel to The Rebirth issue and The Button storyline??

You also need a good knowledge of who and what the JSA is. As someone who isn't really familiar with them at all, and who learns everything by reading up on them afterwards, I'm always really confused at first anytime something revolving them shows up in the story, which is a lot (and they're one of the central pieces of the puzzle, so makes sense, but it isn't strictly "Pure Watchmen Accessible")

One page, seriously one page and I'm way more amped than I am for anything else. Johns and Frank have seen that the beacon is lit and are riding to Gondors aid.

Rohan did get there only after Gondor got knocked around pretty good but they did get there.
