See The Animated Comic Cover For DC’s Doomsday Clock
This November, the highly-anticipated miniseries Doomsday
Clock will hit comic shops. Today, DC revealed the lenticular
cover for the first issue, which features Watchmen‘s
Rorschach, whose mask morphs into the logos for Batman, Superman,
and Wonder Woman.
The issue, as seen above, uses existing artwork from
Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons. The cover is actually
animated as you tilt the comic while looking at it. DC has produced
lenticular covers for other landmark moments, like Rebirth
and Futures End.
Doomsday Clock will combine the DC and Watchmen worlds
for the first time, and it will take place one year in the future
from current continuity. While DC is playing its cards close to its
chest, writer Geoff Johns said readers will know what the book is
about from the first page of the first issue. Obviously, by
looking at the logo for the comic, it has something to do with
Superman and a countdown to something dealing with the Man of
Steel. We’ll learn more about this story a few months from now.
You can the lenticular cover for Doomsday Clock #1 from
comic shops on November 22.
