      I don't have the issues here with me, but I remember reading it at the time and saying "yup,he saved the world just about a month before the big Wall o' Energy (tm) comes plowin' through."
      Okay, you can say Crisis never affected the Watchmenverse, but I prefer it this way. Adds to the tragic futility of it all...

      Hmmm ... 3 more universes + the Watchmenverse (because miracles can happen) we can expect to be folded in after the NEXT Final Crisis in 20 years! :-)
