DC Comics presents a 12-issue maxiseries from the acclaimed creative team, writer Geoff Johns, artist Gary Frank, and colorist Brad Anderson. Doomsday Clock is a superhero comic book limited series published by DC Comics from 2017 to 2019.
This series serves as a conclusion to the narrative established in The New 52 and DC Rebirth and acts as a direct sequel and crossover with the iconic graphic novel Watchmen by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins. Witness the groundbreaking convergence of Watchmen characters with the DC Universe for the first time.
The comic introduces the concept of the Multiverse, where the Watchmen universe exists independently of the DC Universe. Inhabitants of each universe regard the other's characters as fictional. In the Watchmen universe, seven years after the New York City massacre, Rorschach's journal is published, unveiling Ozymandias's role in the event. Now a fugitive, Ozymandias assembles a group to locate Doctor Manhattan and enlist his help in saving the world.
Simultaneously, in the DC Universe's present day, the Supermen Theory, a conspiracy alleging that the U.S. government created its own metahumans, triggers international conflict and an arms race. Governments worldwide recruit metahumans and establish official superteams. As characters from both universes interact, they seek out Manhattan for diverse reasons, leading to encounters with mysteries and revelations they never anticipated.
