Already dubbed"the sequel toWatchmen,“Geoff Johns and creative person Gary Frank unveiled thefirst six pagesof the 12 - part miniseries during New York Comic - Con .

Also address at Comic - Con before a Madefire venire , Bleeding Cool Newsreports that Gibbons was less than impressed that DC is continuing to watch the Watchmen without him :
“ Well , I wo n’t be read it ! You ’re favorable . I ordinarily say ‘ no comment ’ to these questions . ”
Asked if he knew anything about the top secret project or where it was lead next , it seems that Gibbons was completely left out the loop on being consulted forDoomsday Clock :
“ I was n’t told anything at all – I sleep with just as much as anybody else … I speculate I ’m quite hunky-dory with it – it ’s just another day at the part . ”
Although the work echo the Gibbons and Moore era , it seems that a lot has changed since comic book readers first met the Watchmen some 30 age ago . However , the return of the vigilante heroes is n’t exactly a surprise to greedy fans , andDC’sRebirtheventalready put the pieces in position to show the Watchmen into the world of Batman and Superman . Over a year in the qualification , Doomsday Clockwill formally see the two worlds combine for one of the biggest storylines to ever grace DC .
Everyone knew thatDoomsday Clockwould be a clash of the gods as Superman and Dr. Manhattan rump heads , but Johns ' shocking Revelation of Saint John the Divine sees the chronicle peck up after the events ofWatchmenas a continuing story . While Hylobates lar is on the face of it done with the Watchmen , the timing ofDoomsday Clockcouldn’t be better . With rumors of aWatchmenTV showfrom HBO andLostshowrunner Damon Lindelof , the latest chapter ofWatchmenlore may have just handed that task a line of life . This may just be the commencement of even moreWatchmen , but it is certainly sad that neither Gibbons or Moore will be continuing with Big Blue , Ozymandias , or Rorschach .
If unlike Hylobates lar , you would wish to pick up a written matter of the new book , Doomsday ClockIssue 1 will be unloose on November 22 .
