Ever since I saw a Chikn Nuggit episode involving one of the more recent characters, I've been thinking: "You know what? Bezel deserves a solo story."

Here's a hypothetical WIP cover for a comic book revolving around this guy, inspired by Loki (obviously, because who else?). I've already drawn the lines and everything. It's gonna be way better in color, trust me.

As soon as I actually hop to it.

Doomsday Clock #2

A gaggle of onlookers, staring. Transfixed. But why? As I got closer, I could hear the gasps. The murmurs of disbelief. And then I saw it... And I knew... nothing would ever be the same again.

Atomic scientists set the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight than ever before on Tuesday, saying threats of nuclear war, disease and climate volatility have been exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, putting humanity at greater risk of annihilation.

The Doomsday Clock, created by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to illustrate how close humanity has come to the end of the world, moved its "time" in 2023 to 90 seconds to midnight, 10 seconds closer than it has been for the past three years.

Midnight on this clock marks the theoretical point of annihilation. The clock's hands are moved closer to or farther away from midnight based on scientists' reading of existential threats at a particular time.

The new time reflects a world in which Russia's invasion of Ukraine has revived fears of nuclear war.

It's so tragic rewatching Youtube videos about Batman comics from seven years ago. Everyone is excited for Batman to get married. People are saying that Doomsday Clock is going to change the DC landscape forever. I heard a guy say "Tom King will go down in history as one of the greatest Batman writers of all time!" Man...

propaganda:

I'm reading Doomsday Clock and was caught of guard by the "I know Jon intimately well, physically and emotionally." with 'intimately' in bold from Adrian (which actually makes sense in a non shipping way but it took me a second to get there)

The last two doctor who episodes I watched have everything a girl could want. Missy, lesbianism, and the doomsday clock. 10/10.

I haven't seen anyone talking about it on here, but Unstoppable Doom Patrol #6 and the latest Halloween special (DC's Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun) have basically confirmed Dorothy and Kate are still dead.

The former has Dorothy's corpse being dug up by the Brotherhood of Evil as part of a ritual for General Immortus to gain the Candlemaker's powers. In the latter, Cliff is haunted by the ghosts of everyone associated with the Doom Patrol who died, starting with Kate and Dorothy.

It legitimately upsets me that editorial decided to keep these two dead as a plot device to make Cliff sad and for conflict. While the Halloween special is more humanizing than their appearance as ghoulish apparitions in the Knight Terrors event, it's hard to accept it when it came AFTER I tried to get the two back in last year's Pride anthology.

However, the Halloween story is a special kind of aggravating because it goes out of its way to acknowledge Celsius and Negative Woman are both still alive again, Arani with the Doomed and Valentina with the Peoples' Heroes as they were in Doomsday Clock. Cliff even asks how they came back in the first place.

I guess those two weren't important enough to keep dead.
