Dr. Manhattan is found!
This is the comic book issue #7 of the "Doomsday Clock" maxi-series.
Creative Team:
Writer: Geoff Johns
Illustrator: Gary Frank
THINGS GET BLUER
Ozymandias isn't the smartest man alive for nothing, and certainly he has a card under his sleeve to locate Dr. Manhattan, and certainly it pays off, but the reunion isn't going as Ozzy would expect so...
...and certainly he doesn't expect neither that Saturn Girl, a telepath would try to read his mind...
...wrong move...
...for Saturn Girl...
...and talking about it...
...has ever notice that in Watchmen you doesn't get to know about the past of good ol' Ozzy?
Mmh...
Also, it seems that Dr. Manhattan is quite comfy in Earth Prime, but I guess that it must astonishing for him, since if his own Earth went to hell just for the rising of one single super-powered hero...
...he must be wondering how the heck Earth Prime is still in one piece (so far!) having hundreds of heroes and villains, all having super-powers!
Therefore, Dr. Manhattan is starting to do some cruel experiments, changing the events on Earth Prime's past.
Moreover, Dr. Manhattan is wondering about the (too soon) future of Earth Prime once he'd meet Superman!

This is another really strong issue. We finally get to see our big blue friend pop up too! When everything is about to go down, including Batman facing off against Joker, then the two lovers dressed in clown makeup, to see blue pop up and tell us what's happening it's great. We get a lot of reveal, and yet very little at the same time. It pushes certain characters in new direction that'll result in some very interesting moments. While a little to heavy exposition at times it seems to work for the most part. A 4 out of 5.

Though the whole series might have some pacing issues, both in story and publishing frequency, issue number seven starts the second half of Doomsday Clock with some fairly interesting revelations that don't just mess up the series, but may reverberate in the whole DC universe.
Doomsday Clock #7 a hit in most of its pages, the fight scenes are short but sweet and brutal (I mean, The Joker, Mime, Marionette and the Comedian in the same room? Now that's a crazy medieval circus worth seeing), the story is told in both a linear and nonlinear POVs, a mind-boggling foreboding, possible reboot of series; I mean this guy Geoff Johns can effectively juggle all these elements in one cohesive story that equally teases and reveals.
You might have been spoiled that , and that really ups the ante. I'm really looking forward to that satisfying payoff.

Seeing-is-believing is a blind spot in man’s vision – R. Buckminster Fuller
The issue picks up with the return of the lantern of Allen Scott (Green Lantern) one of the main members of Justice Society of America (1940-1950’s), the very first superhero team.
Before DC ever wrote the concept of Green Lantern Corp. Allen Scott’s powers is separate to the well know GL lore today.
Narrated by our favorite naked blue man. Who’s capable of changing timeline without traveling through time?
What I really like on this page is that they show how Dr. Manhattan sees timeline. His not looking at we normal people see time, like linear, he saw it as same events happening at the same time.
For some apparent reason the Kitty version Bubastis is somewhat attracted to the glow of the Lantern and Dr. Ozymandias has been using the kitty to track down Manhattan.
Meanwhile; the clowns are trying to gain information to the whereabouts of Dr. Manhattan with their own initiativity. AND of course Batman’s here.
Am I the only one doesn’t get why Bat’s having a problem with this two?
Using the lantern and the genetic engineered kitty. Veidt drag the naked blue man in front of them.
NOW IT’s TIME FOR ANSWERS
And we didn’t get a single shit. Nice work Geoff Johns
Atleast we knew that Oz is still an asshole
Doomsday Clock issue 7. It’s basically a giant cocktease for what’s to come. The issue is quite great. The art and color is still amazes me, especially how they do the 9 panel art per single page. But I’m quite skeptical for Superman’s part in this story.
Do they really trying to end this one a one big fight? Are they gonna wash off what makes Watchmen great. Hope not.

A big reveal in the character department. Some nice reveals with this certain character. However I feel like jt was holding back a bit of story. Ive been wanting a big peak in the story but it hasnt occured as of yet.
October 11, 2018
This issue is better. Felt like it was dragging its feet less.
November 16, 2018
A bit of a slower issue, but we definitely got some new twists and turns. This is starting to feel more like a Watchmen story in the DC universe than a crossover.
October 1, 2018
If this is the seven of twelve, then it's a good issue. A chapter where we can unveil some answers related to the main heroes of the original Watchmen.
Now I can see a better picture of the upcoming. And if I'm not wrong, I think this is gonna go on in a way I will like it.

Finally we saw Dr. Manhattan and what an ending!!! We getting closer to the final end and I can wait. This series have been a hell of a ride, some low points here and there, but overall very good so far and this one certainly put the bar very high for the ending to come!
October 1, 2018
Chapter 7 and damn we finally see Manhattan, Veidt has been lying to Rorsch, and also he's been experimenting with his "cat", Marionette is pregnant and Superman seems to be pissed off.
I think this was a great intro for Dr. Manhattan, it's also great that since the very first panel, we can see the power he has by changing Alan's path over and over again.

Oh my god I am LOVING this.
While the previous issues showed bits and pieces here and there of each character, this one combined all of them together.
Batman,The Joker, Rorschach 2.0, Ozymandias, The Mime, Marionette, The Comedian and even Dr. Manhattan!
A lot of revelations are made in this issue, they were all so intense they made my head turn.
I can't wait to see how would those revelations play out in the future!
All in all, this was yet another great issue of Doomsday Clock, I can't wait to read the next one

E finalmente o Dr Manhattan dá as caras na HQ o que temos aqui é literalmente um arrancar de máscaras, somos informados que Ozymandias enganou ao novo Rorschach e a nós também, com ideais nobres, mas ele definitivamente não mudou. Entretanto, talvez o mais paradoxal é que ele se mantém como um personagem que em si não é mal, apenas é incapaz de considerar os demais face ao seu objetivo. Ainda é uma incógnita o porquê o Dr Manhattan apareceu justamente nesse mundo e o que o tal filme mencionado na trama tem a ver com tudo isso.

This series is confusing and the books are not published with any regularity. In fact, I just read issue #8 yesterday and then realized that I had not read issue #7. So now I am caught up.
Who knows when DC will finish this series up? Might take them over 2 years to tell a one year story.

I don’t know what I can say that won’t spoil it. How about Ozymandias is trash. Everyone already knew that right?

4.5 Stars. Another excellent installment! This series might not be as quite as good as its predecessor, but it's still entertaining. The last 2 issues have been my favorites, so far. This is really turning into something worthwhile.

This series.
It's not as good or unique as the original Watchmen run, but it's still SO good. Only 5 issues left. I'm excited to see what happens. If it's anything like Watchmen, those last two issues are going to be crazy.

5/5 Stars (%100/100)
The big man is finally here. Oh boy, this issue was probably the best one I've read. Dr. Manhattan is finally here and his conversation with Ozymandias was great. I love this confused, enigmatic and dangerous new Dr. Manhattan. The ending was really good once again. I'll try not to spoil much but this issue was REALLY good.

Significantly superior to the last issue- I will give it credit for basically being exactly what I thought a DC/Watchmen crossover would look like. With that said, if I may be, nitpicky... I didn't really like the way Dr. Manhattan was written here. I didn't totally buy that this was the same Manhattan as in Watchmen.
Small cruffufle, I know.
Everything else works well. Ozzy and Rorschach do splendidly. Joker gets the most laughs. The revelations are major.
It's all very fine and good. However the novelty of this whole exercise is beginning to wear off on me. It's starting to feel exactly how I expected this to kinda play out.
I will give it this much credit (aside from the still splendorous writing), it asks us a question in the end, and I truly do not know how this will play now. Like, the main framework and whole "oh my gosh the Watchmen are colliding with the DC universe this is cray" is all there. But when it comes to the actual future confrontation between Superman and Dr. Manhattan, I'm still left very unsure as to what will actually come out of it.
A part of me is building it up to Kingdom come. The other side of me is telling myself to calm down, it won't live up to any hype I bring to it.
Who knows. Given where we are now, I anticipate a few more filler issues in its wake.

The screws are beginning to turn and the twists are coming to fruition.
Welcome some big characters in Watchmen and Justice League. The plot thickens, true intentions show and certain characters take your mind for a trip.
This is a good one and it's so interesting to see the two worlds combine. In this particular episode, Watchmen continue to take the center stage in this story - literally leaving the DC universe behind for a bit.
And then a cliffhanger to boot.

Nuestras sospechas quedan claras, Dr Manhattan ha sido quién ha movido los hilos en el universo DC.
Pero Ozymandias cada vez está más cerca de encontrar al superhombre... y cuándo lo encuentre ¿qué puede suceder?
También se nos adelanta el conflicto final de Manhattan, con una visión
¿Acaso Superman acabará con Manhattan o Manhattan acabará con todo?

The best series since The Dark Knight
The Joker seeing true insanity in Marionette and Mine was a most satisfying read.Meanwhile The Batman showing the technician that he is admiring Rorshach,s handiwork peaked this excellent storyline thus far.

Veidt finds Jon, we learned what the weird cat was about, and that Veidt was lying about being sick.
That being said, the book was all over the place and hard to follow. Things happen, but I couldn't follow the sequence of events that led to them.
