DC Announces Plans for Doomsday Clock Collections

DC's Doomsday Clock is both critically acclaimed and notoriously delayed, with fans still waiting for the 10^th and 11^th issues. The maxi-series that pits Doctor Manhattan against our favorite DC heroes was already on a bi-monthly schedule but each issue has gotten significant delays, though the wait is often worth it. At the least, each issue is good and those that are waiting for the collected editions will be happy to know that they are coming soon.

Yes. They.

Thanks to a press release from DC Comics (via Newsarama), the company announced that Doomsday Clock will be getting two collections. The first volume will collect issues #1 to #6 and will be coming out this October. As for the second collection, that will be coming out in May 2020, with issues #7 to #12. Both collections will be priced at $24.99.

Here is the full press release:

GEOFF JOHNS AND GARY FRANK'S DOOMSDAY CLOCK PART ONE IS COMING THIS OCTOBER

Part One of Watchmen Sequel Available This October, Part Two to Follow Summer of 2020

Today, DC announced plans to collect Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's DOOMSDAY CLOCK into two parts beginning this October. Since the first cryptic tease in DC UNIVERSE REBIRTH #1 to its debut issue, Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's DOOMSDAY CLOCK has received both critical and sales acclaim as this sequel to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' WATCHMEN pits the heroes of the DC Universe against Watchmen characters Rorschach, The Comedian and the all-powerful Dr. Manhattan with the fate of the multiverse at stake.

DOOMSDAY CLOCK PART ONE collects issues #1-#6 and is scheduled for an October release. The 224-page collection will feature a new cover by series artist Gary Frank, carry an SRP (suggested retail price) of $24.99 and feature all six issues in full, including the supplemental material at the end of each issue. Formed by Johns and Frank, this material provides fans with behind the scenes insight to the world that they've created. The collection will also contain all six incredible variant covers by Frank, along with colorist Brad Anderson.

DOOMSDAY CLOCK PART TWO will collect the finale of the series, issues #7-#12, and is scheduled for release in May of 2020. This will also be available at the SRP of $24.99.

Who else is waiting for the Doomsday Clock collections? Do you all think the wait will be worth it?
