Devil Comics Review | Doomsday Clock [2018] Geoff Johns | Gary Frank

Doomsday Clock begins by showing us a world after the events of Watchmen where the ruse of an alien invasion is exposed and the world descends into chaos. Rorschach releases Erika Manson AKA the Marionette and offers to find her son in exchange for doing a job along with Marcos Maez AKA the Mime. He takes them to Nite Owl’s underground base where they meet Ozymandias who has cancer. Both the Marionette and Mime’s crime spree ended when Dr. Manhattan stopped them. Together they travel to the DC Universe to find Dr. Manhattan. 

Rorschach and Veidt explore a library in Gotham City and find two people who can help them find Dr. Manhattan: Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne, Veidt goes to Lex Luthor and Rorschach goes to Bruce Wayne. Currently Lex Luthor is attempting to seize Wayne Enterprises from Bruce Wayne. While visiting Lex Luthor, Veidt encounters the Comedian while Batman meets Rorschach. 

Doomsday Clock introduces the Supermen Theory which is the highest concentration of Metahumans in the United States leaving the world unbalanced. This concept is mirroring the events of Watchmen where that world is on the tipping point. This is connected to the rivalry between Lex Corp and Wayne Enterprises over the metagene. The increasing number of Metahumans could have been partially created by Dr. Manhattan.
