The unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, Geoff Johns' and Gary Frank's Doomsday Clock had its fifth issue originally solicited for May 23rd and Doomsday Clock #6 was originally solicited for the 18th of July.

Then retailers were told that Doomsday Clock #5 was delayed to June 23rd and #6 to 29th of August.

Then that Doomsday Clock #5 would be out on May 30th, a three month gap between that and Doomsday Clock #6

And now retailers have just been told that Doomsday Clock #6 is switching back to 18th July.

No explanation has been given for these shenanigans. Could it be the curse?

Either way, this Doomsday Clock's timekeeping is really screwy.
