Geoff Johns and Gary Frank Have An Idea for a Doomsday Clock Sequel

[FBarnhill]

And so begins the eternal mining of new Watchmen material.

And to think all of this could’ve been avoided if DC didn’t screw over Moore to begin with. We now have action figures of this:

Nearly at the nexus where this a reality

[king of hybrids]

And so begins the eternal mining of new Watchmen material.

In fairness; the only surprise is that it took so long for them to start

[skyvolt2000]

What's the pitch?

Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

Fix the mess known as Firestorm.

Especially the mess known as Jason Rusch.

Maybe explore those other Earths.

Just don't take 2 years to do it.

I'll have to actually sit down and read Doomsday Clock in one sitting as the delays have really ruined this for me.
But mt initial take is that I was underwhelmed by it all and if they were to try something else I wouldn't waste my money on it.

[superduperman]

Just finish Batman Earth One already! How long did you guys put that off to do this?

[9th.]

Tell them they can keep it

[Desmark]

The pitch must involve the 3 Jokers paying visit to the Watchmen Universe in search of Manhattan this time after meeting each other and learning that Manhattan was behind it.

[Mr.B]

Just give me Earth 1 or 1985.

[Wally West]

Agree completely.

It might even be nice if they created a new hero or two (or even some villains) that could show up later on in a DC book or storyline (sort of the way Harbinger, Lady Quark, and Alexander Luthor did from COIE).

They just did that with Mime and Marionette

[Frontier]

Fix the mess known as Firestorm.

Especially the mess known as Jason Rusch.

Maybe explore those other Earths.

Just don't take 2 years to do it.

How about they remember Firestorm even exists?

You think Geoff "Silver Age Fanboy Extraordinaire" Johns gives a damn about Jason Rusch? Especially after Gerry Conway, the creator of Firestorm, restored the Firestorm matrix to the original duo of Raymond and Stein and openly talked about how, inhis opinion, that should have never changed, treating Rusch like a butt-monkey in the process? I guarantee you that Johns, and certainly Conway, consider Jason Rusch to be of little to no importance to the Firestorm legacy in the long run.

Moore made a bad deal.
That's his own fault.

[Jokerr]

Good Grief - how many years would it take to release that?

Would you be up for a sequel to DC or would you like some time to let the dust settle on what we just got?

"That was always the ending, an ending filled with hope for tomorrow. And if Gary and I really dig deep -- we have a kernel of an idea -- but if we really have that developed, we'll tell that story. It's really up to people whether or not they want to see that story and if, like Doomsday Clock, we really have our stories formulated into something that we want to tell," teased Johns. "Because we have ideas, but when do it, I want to make sure we do it right and have the story that really matters to us in a personal way like Doomsday Clock did."

Why do people complain so much about waiting? Really? Wouldn't you rather have a good story and wait a little longer, than a half-assed one with sloppy artwork sooner?
It kind of reminds me of this experiment where they leave a little kid in a room with a peace of candy, and tell them, that if they don't eat it in the next few minutes they can have two instead. Then see which child will wait for the bigger reward and which one will chose the instant gratification.
It's sad that people nowadays are so impatient about everything. And have to be satisfied at the very second.
As far as the delays, they were with good reason. They could have kept the original schedule
had they cut the page count and had a second artist help Gary Frank with the artwork. John's aslo would have had to rush the script because of all the other projects he was working on. But ultimately they decided to not compromise the story. And I'm glad. Doomsday clock was well worth the wait. The ending was perfect. And I do hope he follows up on it. I don't care how long it takes. It's not like we don't get 100s of new comics every week and have nothing else to read.

no, hard pass. look I'm not some Watchmen purist, I have my fair share of issues with it, but Doomsday Clock has proven [to me] that Johns is not the guy for anything Watchmen related; he just doesn't have the voice for it. if by "Doomsday Clock sequel" they mean sticking to the Mime, Marionette, and their child [lil Manhattan] in the DC universe in a story in his regular format/style, then sure, why not. otherwise? nah, no thanks. this is DC tho, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it, I just hope it doesn't become one of those continuity keystone stories (Metal, Final Crisis, Flashpoint, etc.) like Doomsday Clock is going to be.
