DC Comics has announced that its Doomsday Clock series will be moving to bi-monthly publication. Following the release of issue three the hugely successful series is making the move to ensure it continues to maintain high standards.
DC Comics own Geoff Johns took to twitter to announce and explain the change.
A HUGE HUGE thank you for your patience with @1moreGaryFrank and I. We're shifting #DoomsdayClock to bi-monthly. I know how disappointing that is, truly. We are trying to do our best work with 32 pages an issue and going down to 20 pages a month was not an option for us. (1/2)

We hope we'll go back to monthly at some point, but bi-monthly is guaranteed. We'd rather tell you when it's coming out than just be late. Again, THANK YOU to the readers and retailers and apologies. I hope we're delivering a story that's worth your time, money & patience! (2/2)

Delays in the comic book world are not unusual. Event series often face these kinds of delays when sale are so high and expectations are equally so. Whilst the series was envisioned to run for 12 issues over a year this timeline will now be extended to incorporate the change in release schedule.
Are you reading Doomsday Clock? What do you think of the series so far?
