"Doomsday Clock" Preview featured in "The Button" finale


With The Button finally ending this week with the release of "The Flash #22", DC Comics shifts the focus and attention of the "Watchmen/ DC Rebirth" mystery to its next upcoming storyline set for this fall when Geoff Johns returns to write "Doomsday Clock" alongside the creative team of Gary Frank and Brad Anderson. The final part of "The Button" saw lots of reveals and more questions remaining to be answered... But also featured an epilogue that is a lead on to Doomsday Clock, which was released by DC and also featured by Comic Book.com.

You can check out the two page teaser here, teasing the Comedian's button floating in space bloody as ever, and then shifting to what is revealed as Superman's familiar "S" logo that is the crest of The House Of El. One can only wonder what Johns has planned... We'll just have to wait and see.


"Doomsday Clock" will be released on November 2017.

DC Rebirth: Jay Garrick returns in "The Button" and Batman image tweeted by Tom King



Looks like a familiar DC Hero will FINALLY make his long awaited return after being teased in the pages of The Flash, as DC Comics has released (via Newsarama) the Jason Fabok drawn cover to "The Flash #22" - which sees the comeback of Golden Age Flash Jay Garrick. Back in a slightly redesigned version of his original costume complete with the Mercury helmet, Garrick's return happens during "The Button" storyline, which begins this April and spans issues #21 and 22 of "Batman" and "The Flash" respectively.

Speaking of Batman, series writer Tom King tweeted this other Fabok drawn artwork showing the Caped Crusader looking at his computer in the Batcave, showing images of the bloodstained smiley face button that belonged to The Comedian of Watchmen fame. What this means is just what "The Button" aims to solve, but King quotes Rorschach in his tweet, leading many to believe we'll be getting the answers soon to this lingering mystery that has stuck around since "DC Universe Rebirth #1" was released last year.

The Button begins with Batman #21 on April.
