The story continues 7 years after the Watchmen event, Ozymandias is the most wanted man in the world, the war has begun.
There's also a new Rorschach, he is looking for two new watchmen, also, he is linked with ******.
Their mission is to find God, or maybe the thing will be even worse.
In this issue we see the first crossover with the DCU.

This is phenomenal
I mean, I loved Watchmen and I sure as hell adore anything related to Batman. So this combination between my favorite DC heroes made me a squealing mess.
And I didn't just love it because it has the Watchmen AND Superman and Batman. I loved it because it's so well done!
The story follows the end of Watchmen perfectly, the outcome of what happened at the end and the consequences of the decisions made then make perfect sense.
I also love the art because it sticks to Watchmen's style; beautiful, sharp, well detailed and brutal at the same time.
I can't wait to read the next ones, when Batman finally joins the story!
90/100
A promising start to Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's (perhaps overly) ambitious endeavor to weave a story about Watchmen AND the main DC Universe. It was obviously a setup issue, but I can't help to enjoy and savor every panel (almost all constructed with 9-panel-per-page structure like Moore's Watchmen) because of Frank's beautiful artwork. Even with the similar structure, the art managed to stand on its own with the help of the coloring work, which has similar color pallette with Watchmen, but also has some differences, showing the progression of that world.
The setup nature of the issue made me think that it was kinda bland in some parts, but Johns's plot revealed so many interesting facts about the Watchmen world and characters several years after Dr. Manhattan's departure from Earth.
The characters felt fine, I didn't notice anything special, but nothing seemed out-of-character either.
Overall, a slow-burner that kept me interested the whole way, and yet also made me kinda upset that I'd have to wait for a year before reading the entire story. Also, good luck to Geoff Johns, I have a feeling this series will end up very controversial.

I've been waiting for what feels like forever for this story and I was not disappointed. Great read!
Well... probably should have read Watchmen before I dived into this, because I have no idea what's going down.
I wonder if I'd have found 'Watchmen' this insufferable if I read it for the first time now or if this is just really bad. Regardless, Abnett is turning 'Aquaman' into a more clever allegory for our current political climate than this Is.
Just wow! For years I was dreaming of a Watchmen sequel and now here it is... and with what look like a cross-over with Superman and maybe other big DC heroes... who knows? Not a big fan of cross-over but this one is gonna be epic like we never saw anything like it! Big Big expectation for what's next!!
