Why didn't this resonate with readers?

Is that why it sold like shit after the first couple of issues? or that every other dc comic writer ignored what transpired in it?

>taylor-made for reddit
No no, this was made by Geoff Johns. Tom Taylor wrote Injustice, I bet that's what your're thinking of!

I chuckled.

>Is that why it sold like shit after the first couple of issues?
Every single issue was the top selling comic of its month.

Because the very act of making a sequel to Watchmen invalidates the whole point of Watchmen. Let alone one that crosses over with the mainstream DC universe. Something which even casual fans did not watch.

Still better than the HBO show tho.

Because Geoff Johns is a bad writer

The first issue came out a full two years before the first episode of the show did and a full year before the show was even greenlit by HBO. Both are shit, yes, but DC was going to Doomsday Clock regardless of the show.

It's a crossover that nobody asked for, nor wanted, nor even really works.
"nuttin matters"
"ye it do"
"k lol ur rite"
Go fuck yourself.

And, yeah, it had enough delays that it ended up coinciding with the show but Gary Frank is notorious for being slow.

>Tom Taylor wrote Injustice,

Lowkey trump supporter Tom Taylor?

...drumpf...?
DRUMPF!?!?!?!?!?!

When this blows over, i ought to have a gander at it.

Don't get me wrong. I am not American but have some US sensibilities and british sensibilities fused together.

Fuck you faggot.
Except its not really a sequel to Watchmen, nor does it try to be

Doomsday Clock is the perfect thing to point to whenever i want to shit-´post about how much modern Superman sucks. So i'm glad that it is something that exists.

haha, wat??

It literally takes place after the events of Watchmen and implies the events therein are the conclusion and answer to its plot, setting and characters.

Did you start pouring white paint into your cereal when you ran out of milk?

It's not a sequel. It's basically a what if continuation/crossover

Keep crying brainlet.
Yes, i can picture the jews at WB calling DC's president and telling him "hey HBO is working on a watchmen sequel series, we are cashing on the IP, have a "what if continuation/crossover" watchmen series ready for the next year, not a sequel tho, just a what if continuation bro".

Why do I get the vibe that you unironically self-insert as Rorschach?

i didn't get the point of about 90% of this book. most of the characters didn't seem relevant to the overarching doomsday clock stuff. the mime characters were eye rollingly edgy. no reason for the series to go on as long as it did.

Cereal man is a talentless hack

You are retarded and a brainlet. So you shouldn't trust your instincts It has some hilarious moments like when Johns forgets about the comedian in issue 5 just to remember to kill him in issue 12.

I liked it but it failed it to deliver in a lot of areas.

Watchmenfags tend to latch their entire personality on to Watchmen because it was the first comic they ever read after The Killing Joke.

What do you like about the series user?

Watchmen audience tends to skew against capeshit unless it's Tim King stuff and Johns is an unabashed fanboy with an axe to grind against Moore so it went to the plate already on strike one.

Then it wobbled all over the place, Johns was trying to copy Moore's style and it just wasn't in him to do it.

And then he decided to shoehorn his OC's as being a part of both Watchmen canon AND DC canon through Mime & Marionette, this was just a blatant money grab on his part.

And it does seem like it was being heavily re-written, subplots went nowhere, Johns said we'd never see the JLA vs. Osterman and well...that happened.

And the whole thing was invalidated canonically by other DC writers who alluded that it was just a containment book for Johns, I think a lot of people who expected a big cosmic payoff at the end decided that if it didn't matter? Why bother slogging through it.

Now all THAT being said? I ended up liking it a lot more than I expected. If Johns had been given a real editor and/or had real leadership at DC at the time this could have been a 4 issue mini just focused on Osterman vs. Clark for the philosophical 'soul' of capeshit. I was actually OK with the resolution and Johns basically recanonizing the DC multiverse beyond just the 52 (of course Morrison already did that in multiversity and Synder was already doing it his way). I have to give credit to Cereal Lord for at least making some Earths that we hadn't seen before like a DCU from 1985 where Crisis never happened and an actual NU52 where Superbro and his popped collar gang still flourish.

I'll take it over the HBO series that's for fucking sure...

>noooo not muh Assadarino, not the heckin good Alawite

Because terrible writer, no focus or goal.
Than it was a shameless event that got too much other properties, like jsa and legion, mixed into it. That with Rebirth getting obsolet quickly made the books obsolete.

The only positive thing was mime and marionette, but that quickly went facepalm as goeff was wanking them to get some credit for creating them.

What the fuck is Watchmensch?

a parody of watchmen

This wasn't better than Watchmen but man did I like it more.

because it took what felt like 5 years to get 12 issues out, and the whole time you have other writers undermining the gravitas of the story. I reread it all in one go the other day and enjoyed it a lot more. it should've been published as a full trade. Putting it out as a maxi series with infinite delays was the biggest fuck up DC and Didio could've done with this and to Johns

>dude Superman is the center of the universe lmao

Because it was fucking awful. Bad artists, writers who didn't understand the characters or story.

It's funny how the far left Mao fanboys and far right Hitler fanboys both support Assad and are seemingly unaware of each others existence

Geoff Johns isn't capable of writing a good story

The ways it was attempting to imitate Moore made it bad by comparison. If it had just been Johns playing it all straight I would have liked it more.

Only Americans think in absolutes. Normal people know that Assad is a butcher and at the same time know that Assad gassing his citizens 6 blocks away from the international press is nonsense, just as anyone with half a brain knows that calling Assad "putin's puppet" is not only anti-russian propaganda, but also retarded. The issue with this stupid comic is that Johns tries to be political, but he doesn't know shit, Moore wrote a comic about how interventionism and the cold war would work with the presence of manhattan, his worldview doesn't have goods and bads, it only has faceless superpowers, Geoff starts the story with North Korea somehow nuking poor innocent America, and reaches it's climax when Black Adam's middle eastern Army tries to kill Superman in fucking Washington. But don't you worry, the story isn't pro-america propaganda, it also has a TRUMP supported hitting a black kid with a pipe, and a comment about how american soldiers not always behaving as they should, so you know, it's balanced, and let's not forget that a israeli superhero killed unarmed people, but relax, they were terrorists.
Johns is a moron that can't point out Iran on a map, but he is lucky most of his fanbase can't do it either. Ca

t. white trash

>Only Americans think in absolutes.
That better have been a RoTS reference.

because mixing superman with watchmen is an awful idea

>It actually all came together in the end

not really

It was.

It was bad.

Tonal disconnects, stupid, doesn't build upon watchmen, doesn't add anything to the original story, doesn't add anything to the DC Universe.

Nothing more white trash that shitting on American Exceptionalism, pretty sure Kid Rock had an entire album about the relationship between pro-war propaganda in american media and the fictional portrayal of american interventionism.

Metal was before dclock Snyder JL invalidated this

Moorefags would have hated it regardless of what actually happened. They'd rather pray to their wizard king and praise Watchmen like its the fucking comic bible
