Comment(s):
- Story continues from the previous issue and continues in the next issue.
- In the flashback in this story Dr. Manhattan appears to teleport the Comedian to the DC Universe during mid-fall to his death as seen in Watchmen #1. Whether or not this means Dr. Manhattan has created an alternate timeline for the Watchmen Universe or if the Comedian will be returned to his point of origin later is yet to be revealed. Neither is it known when in Dr. Manhattan's timeline this takes place.
