If you're only going to read one comic series this year, make itDoomsday Clockbecause both Johns and Frank are pulling out all the stops and turning in some of the best work of their careers. Just like the originalWatchmen,Doomsday Clockis a slow-burning look at why we value superheroes, and if they deserve the blindadmiration they so often get. It's clear that this book is more than just a cash grab or way to keep theWatchmencharacters in the public eye. Johns is crafting a dark, engaging story packed full of obscure DC history that has a lot to say about how the world perceives heroes.
