Doomsday Clock #3: Not Victory Nor Defeat by Gary Frank, Geoff Johns, Brad Anderson
2.0
At this point I'm trying not to compare it to the original anymore, but it's hard, particularly when this book keeps trying to make stylistic allusions and parallels. Whether it's the end-of-chapter quote or the text materials at the end or the meta-fictional narrative being woven in the background, this book keeps grasping at straws trying to recreate some semblance of the original style or feel, and it's just so bad at it.
As with before, this remains a largely surface-level narrative, bopping from one talking head to the next, and without any of the subtlety or human context to it. Every attempt a subtley spinning off future plots or foreshadowing feels like it comes with a massive billboard on it, while each issue ends with the writer seemingly thinking the atory had gone anywhere.
