This issue starts with the origin of Darkseid, we see him before he became a New God, as Uxas, and we see how he kills the Old Gods and steals their powers, becoming Darkseid, as well as how his brother-in-law became Highfather. I’ve never actually read the original Jack Kirby Fourth World stories (I know, I know, I’m going to rectify that soon) so I don’t know how much of this was a re-telling or a massive retconning, but either way, it was interesting and Paulo Siquera’s art was fantastic, that one splash-page where we see Uxas transformed into Darkseid was awesome. I’ve always quite liked Siquera’s style, but here, with no inks, it looked spectacular. After establishing Darkseid and Apokolips, Pak then shows us why Darkseid has attacked in books like Earth 2 and Justice League. Kaiyo, the trickster and current villain in Batman/Superman has been leading him through the multiverse, where he kills the heroes he sees, until he comes across the New 52 and is defeated, as we saw in Justice League #1 to #6. I did find a little weird how the reason the New 52 JL were able to defeat him was because they were ‘younger, rougher and crazier’, that just shows how EXTREME and 90s this new era of DC can actually be. Once again, this book made me realise that I really do have to get around to reading Earth 2 soon, and the last page was also very interesting, as we see that Darkseid has imprisoned a Superman. Which Superman? Is Earth 2 Superman still alive? Who knows. Darkseid is one of the best villains in comics, so I for one was glad to see his origins, now to read the original stories and see how furious I can become at DC changing them. |

[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand "collecting" alternate-universe Supermen and,if I'm interpreting that last panel correctly, possibly building one of his own. |

I would hate to be in the position of having to rewrite Kirby in one issue, that's for sure. But I hated reading someone else do it too. My favorite Darkseid is in the cartoon Galactic Guardians Super Powers Team, where Darkseid talks like Cookie Monster and tries to bang Wonder Woman. |

And Cyborg says--no lie--"Pssh, yeah, haha. Magic Johnson, look out." He could make the kid a new leg like his own, but instead he delivers a burn.

There it is! It'd take him, what, 10 minutes to put together a decent leg for that kid?! |

Everyone is nuts. It's probably my favorite iteration of the DCU right after the Sea World waterski show. |
