Doomsday Clock #8: Save Humanity by Gary Frank, Geoff Johns, Brad Anderson
5.0

REALLY good issue for me.

So we finally get to Superman and his involvement in this story. He's been kind of absent the last 6 issues. We got to know more about the villains, especially how sneaky some bastards have been. We also even got moments with the doctor. But now we sit down with Superman, who is doing what he does best, saving people. This time though he goes overseas, and the political nature of Watchmen comes into play here. The ending is...whoa.

Good: Loved the ending a lot. It sets up a great reveal but also the fact Bruce and Clark's relationship begins to crack. I also really enjoyed the art, as always, the facial expressions and such are so damn great. The political nature of this issue is intriguing and by the end you kind of don't know where each character will go.

Bad: It's slower paced than expected being a issue 8. Also, very little watchmen stuff involved till a certain moment.

Overall, a fantastic issue. This is easily the best in the series for me, and really intriguing, and I hope it finishes as strong as this. A 4.5 out of 5.
