I just read up on the ending, and......wow. That's fukking terrible.
And it really feels like this became an event because someone somewhere got a little antsy with Doomsday Clock taking a legit two fukking years to finish.

The 2000's Guardian of the galaxy did the whole therapy panels better too cause they used them to build a story......
I've liked Tom King's work prior but this is bad

Well, if you were wondering why King got pulled from Batman, despite it being successful......

I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this.

I'm cool with it. If you look at how King handles books with non-A List characters it shows he does better finding what makes them tick.
Plus I enjoyed his take on the New Gods in Mr. Miracle.
I'm the same...I have loved more of King's work than I hated (I actually enjoyed his Batman run) but this was just a bad idea that was executed horribly.Heroes in Crisis ......

HiC is absolute trash, Idk they gave King the power to do that one.Heroes in Crisis ......

I honestly believe this had nothing to do with Doomsday Clock's delays and more to do with DC brass taking what King intended as a non-continuity, isolated story and trying to make it part of continuity because King was so popular.I just read up on the ending, and......wow. That's fukking terrible.

An in-continuity event by King would equal more sales than just a separate King book that was not part of the greater DCU.

Doomsday Clock and Immortal Hulk this week were great 
Amazing Spider-man Hunted event had a pretty good ending

Fair point. But, unless I'm misremembering, both of them specialize in smaller, character driven stories. New Gods is supposed to be their next attempt at an Avengers level movie, isn't it?
I also feel like by this time tomorrow, we're going to be staring down articles from some people mad that they brought in a co-writer for Ava, and others who are mad that they didn't just let King do the whole thing.
It's the rare pairing that probably makes perfect sense when you think of it, but will still manage to piss off the most vocal of detractors.

Like it should have just been like a little offshoot book, or just pigeoned holed into King doing a Booster Gold run. This story would have been great in a trippy way with Booster being the main character. That would have made the ending not as far fetched. Making this into an event was the wrong move.
The buzz about what DC/WB wants from New Gods is something akin to the Game of Thrones vibe of big splashy visuals and larger than life fantasy characters but actual character driven story at the core and I can't think of two better writers to get that vibe just right.
Plus anyone complaining about why Ava needed a co-writer or why King isn't the sole writer is just a crab who was going to complain about something even if they had to make something up.
THat shyt has taken forever. I always have to go back and read the previous issue just to make sure I am fully up to speed when a new issue comes out.I think so as well, I just wanted to make a joke about Doomsday Clock taking so long.
