How Nostalgia Will Bring Watchmen Into Geoff Johns' New Golden Age
The solicitation for next month's New Golden Age one-shot by Geoff Johns, Steve Lieber, Jerry Ordway, and Diego Olortegui is solicited thus; "from the Justice Society of America to the Legion of Super-Heroes, The New Golden Age will unlock DC's epic and secret-ridden history of heroism, launching a new group of titles set firmly in the DC Universe. From the 1940s to the 3040s, heroes take on the great evils of their time. But in the aftermath of Flashpoint Beyond, those heroes and villains will have their lives turned upside down. DC's future…and its past…will never be the same again. But how are Mime and Marionette connected to this? Why are Rip Hunter and the Time Masters the most unlikable heroes in the DC Universe? And who or what is…Nostalgia? Don't miss the start of the strangest mystery to have ever plagued the DC Universe."
Who or what is Nostalgia? Spoilers of course. We may get some answers tomorrow in Flashpoint Beyond #6, as well as how this may lead into the return of the Justice Society of America. But as for Nostalgia? As well as the perfume created by Adrian Veidt in Watchmen to take advantage of the mood of the time, it is also the name of a Cleopatra Pak, a character glimpsed in the final issue of Doomsday Clock. Set thirty years before the present day.
It looks as if Geoff Johns is continuing to use Doomsday Clock, Flashpoint Beyond and the New Golden Age to bring Watchmen characters into the DC Comics Universe, just as Pennyworth is bringing V For Vendetta into the Gotham universe. Flashpoint Beyond #6 by Geoff Johns, Jeremy Adams, Tim Sheridan and Xermanico is published by DC Comics tomorrow.
