A shadowy timeline spanning decades, this DC saga threads together Before Watchmen and Watchmen with the main DC Universe through reality-shifting events like The Button, Superman: Reborn, and The Oz Effect, culminating in Doomsday Clock, where past and present collide to reshape the future of continuity itself.
Watchmen explores power, morality, and human frailty through a gritty alternate history where costumed heroes uncover a conspiracy that threatens the fate of the world.
Before Watchmen is a series of prequel comics that delve into the complex backstories, motivations, and moral compromises of the original Watchmen characters, expanding the world of the iconic graphic novel.
Geoff Johns masterfully blends Watchmen’s complex moral questions with the broader DC Universe, delivering an ambitious, character-driven saga that redefines hope, legacy, and the metatextual power of superhero stories.
