Doomsday Clock by Geoff Johns

This was a fine follow-up to Watchmen. The art was good and was in the spirit of Dave Gibbon's art while still being its own thing. New characters meshed with old, Watchmen characters meshed with DC characters.
The story is an attempt to do two things. First, to bring the Watchmen characters into the DC universe. Second, to explain all of the rebooting of the DC universe. I don't think the first was all the necessary. Yes, having certain characters meet was interesting but necessary? Eh. The story was moderately successful in explaining why Dr. Manhattan kept fooling with reality.
I suppose for an event story, it was pretty decent.
