We ’ve known for a while now that Doomsday Clock would center on a encounter of Supreme Being — Dr. Manhattan and Superman — for some time now , but as Johns and Grossman walked the audience through the first six pages of the book , they explained that the story will also largely focus on the aftermath of Watchmen . The world is still stagger from the going of three million lives as a result of Ozymandias ’ chilling secret plan and the public is more convinced than ever that the end times are upon them .
Ozymandias is still at large as the world ’s constabulary authorities urgently run for him in hopes of bringing him to justice for his law-breaking . Meanwhile , Dr. Manhattan is nowhere to be seen . Russia has launched an invasion of Poland and the US has announced plans for retaliation . The American politics has also mandated that multiple major city centers have to be evacuated in anticipation of a Russian answer . As a newscast of the mandatory evacuation plays in the scope of a clink cell , prisoners beg guards to set them free . As the guard themselves hotfoot to fly the building , an inmate do to take hold of a CO and threatens to kill him unless he ’s set free .
The safety machine ’s abruptly strike hard out by someone the convict is shock and horror-stricken to see . Someone who should n’t be there .
