Like many people, I didn't discover Watchmen until well after the series was completed and available in collected form. One of the appeals with Doomsday Clock is getting the opportunity to experience what it must have been like back in 1986 as the original series slowly played out. Like Watchmen, Doomsday Clock is a very dense, novelistic story that rewards careful reading and rereading. The monthly format is a novelty, but I'm growing more and more convinced that it's not the ideal way to experience this story. Especially not now that the series is switching to a bimonthly schedule.
If you're the sort of reader who approaches books from a "What happens next?" mentality, Doomsday Clock isn't necessarily the most rewarding of books. In some ways, this sequel is even more methodical and slow-paced than the original. With issue #3, the series still has yet to answer some fairly basic questions about the plot or fully introduce several key players. This issue may prove especially frustrating because so much of the script is devoted to juxtaposing a movie broadcast alongside the actions of characters like Rorschach and Batman. Doomsday Clock is not a comic in a hurry to get where it's going.
