Huge comic news! A new comic has been announced that will be the major Watchmen/DC Universe title that fans have been waiting for since Rebirth. It will be written by Geoff Johns with art by Gary Frank.

The following will include spoilers for the final issue of “The Button” story.

The events of “The Button” story will set up, what is sure to be, one of the biggest story-lines in DC Comic history. “Doomsday Clock” is being described as a standalone DC Comic miniseries that will continue story that began last year with his Rebirth.

Below are the biggest details of the comic revealed by Geoff Johns. If you want to read the rest than visit SyfyWire.

First thing that Johns wanted to get clear was that this story will NOT be a sequel to the original Watchmen and how it’s a standalone story.

“It is something else. It is Watchmen colliding with the DC Universe. It is the most personal and most epic, utterly mind-bending project I have ever worked on in my career. With Rebirth, I opened the door to Manhattan. Part of that was I loved the real-world influence Watchmen has. I put Manhattan out there, and always thought there was a Manhattan/Superman story to be told, but then … it grew. And grew. It took my heart and soul over. Still, at the core of it, there’s a being who has lost his humanity, and distanced himself from it, and an alien who embodies humanity more than most humans. I love the idea that Watchmen influenced DC, but what would that look like in reverse? And it goes well beyond that.”

“We’re not going to do a story like this unless we one-thousand percent believe in it. It is all about the story; it is only about the story. There are no crossovers. No watered down one-shots or mini-series on top of this one. This is a standalone story. There is only Doomsday Clock. We had no interest in doing a crossover with this. We didn’t want to see Doctor Manhattan facing off against Superman in Action Comics, with all due respect. That is not what this is about. It is about something different … It will have an impact on the entire DC Universe. It will affect everything moving forward and everything that has come before. It will touch the thematic and literal essence of DC.”

Geoff talked about which characters from Watchmen and the DC universe will be involved.

“There will be DC characters throughout this, but this focuses in on only a handful. There is a lot of focus on Superman, and Doctor Manhattan. Doctor Manhattan is a huge focus, and his reasons for being here, and doing what he does, ultimately have to do with Superman. And there are many, many more characters to be involved, but it is a bit early to discuss.”

Details on the origin of the title, “Doomsday Clock”.

“It takes the iconic elements of both Superman and Watchmen, and the DC Universe. It felt like the perfect title. I like the “DC.” It used to be called “The Doomsday Clock,” but I took “The” off. Obviously people know who Doomsday is, but he’s not a part of the story, but I like the implications of it. People will think the last time they heard Doomsday and Superman, he died, so what is this going to be? What is he going to go through this time? And how will it affect them going forward?”

The final two questions answered by Geoff Johns contain MAJOR spoilers for the The Flash #22 issue out this week.

At the end of The Flash #22, Batman sees the signal from Wayne Manor, and questions answering it…

“That’s exactly what Manhattan wanted. What he wanted was to get Bruce out of the way.”

About the final page of The Flash #22, which shows a battered Superman shield.

“That is by design. What are the flaws in Superman? How far can Superman fall. We’re going to find out. There is still so much more to come, but we’ll get deeper into it soon.”

Wow, this is exciting. There is a lot of information to absorb and it has made beyond excited. The teaser image is awesome, very much Watchmen inspired and I’m surprised how much Superman will be involved.

“Doomsday Clock” will be released this November.
