    But if one were interested in buying a popular event series (no matter how dumb or terrible), in my opinion it's always better to wait. I feel it's only worth springing for something immediately if there's a chance it'll go OOP and you won't have any other format options.

    In this case, DC will undoubtedly be milking this thing so I say don't rush to buy it. Or at all.
    That's totally fair. I would like to give it a chance myself , but I also don't want to have two volumes worth.

    And you're correct, they'll milk Doomsday Clock dry until the bitter end.

    Sadly, he's not good with eyes either.
    I really don't get the approval this guy gets.
    But then I also think his good buddy Geoff Johns is a one-note, tone-deaf hack who couldn't write his way out of a paper bag, so I'm clearly in the minority here.

    I can see what you're saying regarding the teeth but they don't bother me that much and not that big an issue for me for me not to like his art. I quite like his work especially in Shazam by Geoff Johns.

    You mean exactly like they’ve done to the series it’s a sequel to?

    Agreed.

    Oddly enough, his best work was when he was able to keep a monthly schedule...

    Looks similar to the lenticular cover of Doomsday Clock #1...

    Batgirl: BA vol.2 came in with sales in the expected range.
    Sandman vol.3 is disappointing.

    DANG on Detective's 80yrs OHC!!!

    It's oversized trim size. Here's a nice video review that shows everything:

    I already have all of LOEG in standard hardcover size, but I might eventually pick this up. Looks really nice; especially like the design under the dust jacket.
