Pro Teaches n00bs: Lesson 55: Doomsday Clock

On today's lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, Bianca and I go over one of my favorite modern comics, Doomsday Clock. The sequel to Watchmen and the wrap up of Rebirth in general! And it puts a big empahsis on Superman and...well it's just such an amazing story!

Doomsday Clock is the finale of the story that was established in DC Rebirth, officially concluding the storylines that began in The New 52 continuity. The comic features the concept of the Multiverse, where the Watchmen universe exists separately from the DC Universe and each universe's characters treat the other universe's characters as fictional.

In the Watchmen universe, seven years after the massacre in New York City, the details inside Rorschach's journal have been published, exposing Ozymandias's role in the event. Now a fugitive, Ozymandias gathers several others to find Doctor Manhattan and bring him back to save the world.

Meanwhile, in the DC Universe, during the present day, the "Supermen Theory", a conspiracy theory that accuses the federal government of the United States of creating its own metahumans, has created international conflict and led to an arms race, with various governments around the world recruiting metahumans and creating sanctioned superteams.

As characters from both universes meet each other, most of them try to find Manhattan for many different reasons, leading them to encounter mysteries and receive revelations they have not been aware of.
