After Midnight: ‘Watchmen’ after ‘Watchmen’ looks specifically at the three adaptations of Moore’s and Gibbons’s Watchmen-Zack Snyder’s Watchmen film (2009)- Geoff Johns’s comic book sequel Doomsday Clock (2017)- and Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen series on HBO (2019). The anthology considers how the sequels- especially the limited series- have prompted a reevaluation of the original text and successfully harnessed the politics of the contemporary moment into a potent relevancy. The first part considers the various texts through conceptions of adaptation- remediation- and transmedia storytelling. Part two considers the HBO series through its thematic focus on the relationship between American history and African American trauma. Finally- the book considers the themes of nostalgia and trauma- both firmly rooted in the original Moore and Gibbons series- and how the sequel texts reflect and refract upon those often-intertwined phenomena.
