Geoff Johns is set to continue his work in the DC Universe Rebirth saga later this year.
Syfy Wire reveals that DC's Chief Creative Officer will wrap up its story about "The Button" with the release of "Doomsday Clock" in November.
According to the report, the standalone mini-series will continue the story that started in 2016's "Rebirth Special #1," as well as the currently released four-part arc presented in "Batman #21" and will end on Wednesday with "The Flash #22."
Based on the image shared by the publication, the mini-series seems to act as the endgame of the present situation of "DC Rebirth." It will center on the effects of the interaction between the DC and Watchmen universes when Superman and The Manhattan collide.
Johns reveals in the interview that the upcoming "Doomsday Clock" story will serve as a standalone story. "There are no crossovers. No watered down one-shots or mini-series on top of this one. This is a standalone story. There is only Doomsday Clock. We had no interest in doing a crossover with this," the DC executive states.
"It is about something different," he also shares. "It will have an impact on the entire DC Universe. It will affect everything moving forward and everything that has come before. It will touch the thematic and literal essence of DC."
Johns will work with visual artist Gary Frank. According to the DC Comics executive, he will not work on the project if Frank will not be on board. He also says that he and Frank are now given the liberty of choosing the story they believe in.
Other reports also claim that colorist Brad Anderson will be the one to lay out the color to the upcoming comic book project.
DC has yet to reveal the exact release date of the "Doomsday Clock" arc of the "DC Rebirth" saga in the coming days.
