Doomsday Clock #3: Not Victory Nor Defeat by Gary Frank, Geoff Johns, Brad Anderson
3.0

This series still remains good but I'm starting to realize why I wait for tradebacks.

So this volume gives us three stories. One about Oz and Comedian, Batman and Rorschach, and then Mime and Marionette go out on a little trip to a bar and of course shit goes bad. So with all three stories going on in one go 30 page issue does it cover enough to make everyone come to life? Do we feel their stories?

Good: I really enjoy the Batman and Rorschach stuff. It's both funny and intriguing to find out what's happening. I also enjoy the argument on TV about to trust Batman or superheroes in general. Last but not least the art is still extremely impressive.

Bad: The Oz and Comedian stuff is way too short. I wasn't able to connect. The worst though was the Mime storyline. Just kind of boring and a lot of blood and gore for...I dunno...to show they are like Joker?

Overall this was a decent volume but it's starting to wear a bit thin. I think I'll enjoy this more if I read it in one big collection.
