If the last two issues provided the climax to many of the subplots of the series, tbis issue seems to offer the climax to those climaxes.
I thoroughly enjoyed this issue, but I do have to say that whatever grounding or tone the series seemed to try to set earlier, this issue seems to be where it (gloriously) jumps the shark. We're immediately greeted with fleets of all the manor hero teama flying through space, like we suddenly found ourselves in the penultimate issue of a Crisis book (not unintentional, given the title) with everything turned up to 11, except we're also in one of those 90's crossover specials.
And I kind of wish that was all this was. It isn't a great or worthy Watchmen followup to this point amd probably won't come anywherrle close to it by the end, and the time framing device of this being 5 years in the future seems clunky at best. The nods to events that were (at the time) to come now seems (having read them when they have since happened) like largely wasted panels, filler content that takes away from the larger story.
As an elseworlds, no-impact mega-crossover, though? It's becoming a lot of fun.

I'm speechless. This was also a great issue. The heroes of the world confront Dr. Manhattan while he is learning new stuff each second. In the Watchmen universe, time is immutable and Dr. Manhattan himself said that he is merely a puppet who can see his strings. However, in this universe, time is changeable and Manhattan is experimenting with the tachyons. Brilliant work!

That's it?
I need more bloody hell!!
This issue was probably the best one so far!
All of DC universe heroes came together to help Superman and defeat the one who hurt him, only to find that it's freaking Dr. Manhattan who's basically indestructible.
I loved the face off, I loved Dr. Manhattan's reactions to basically everything and most importantly everyone's reactions to his reactions; those were priceless.
All in all: I. NEED. MORE.
TAKE BRUCE TO MARS BLOODY HELL!

"You all believe you're wielding magic.
... I must perform a deeper analysis but I see this power you harness is in reality the scraps of creation. Like the random errors in computer code, discraded and forgotten, left to be cpiked up and used by those who also find themselves discarded and forgotten... 'magic'..." - Dr. Manhattan.
