Question about Doomsday Clock #1 (Spoilers)

Towards the end, Oz says that Doc Manhattan went to a simpler galaxy, and then next part show’s Clark’s parents getting killed. Dr. Manhattan did that, no? Because I don’t remember the Kents dying like that. In fact, isn’t Martha still alive?

In New 52, Clark is an orphan. The idea is that Doctor Manhattan created the New 52.

@prodigalson.kendall.50258 I didn’t read much Superman stuff for New52, so I had no idea he was an orphan. But the idea is still that Doc Manhattan is behind the change?

Morrison’s Action Comics run in the New 52 gives an answer to how Superman’s adopted parents died, though it’s slightly different than what’s implied in Doomsday Clock.

Thanks, I didn’t realize that was a nod to new52. I’ve been waiting for John’s to get back to that ha
