Update: Last month DC promised that in April's Justice League #75, a "Dark Army made up of the DCU's greatest villains" formed on the edges of the Multiverse would be responsible for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the deat🍬h of nine of ten Justice Leaguers, but you won't have to wait until April to find out who this Dark Army i🐎s.
The architect of it all, writer𝕴 that readers will learn the identity of the Dark Army - presumably doing the bidding of the Great Darkness - in March's , the finale of t🐽hat limited series.
Given the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:events of Justice League♛ Incarnate #4 and t♏he previous teaser Williamson tweeted about Justice League Incarnate #5 (see below), one can't help but speculate if Darkseid will be a part of, and perhaps leading, the Dark Army capable of killing powerhouses like Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and more.
Justice League Incarnate #5 is on sale March 5.
Original story follows...
Extremely busy writer Joshua Williamson dropped a DC continuity bomb in February 1's , basically 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:rewriting the history o𓂃f the꧙ entire DC Omniverse and ♍the context of almost all thꦅe publisher's Crises and other major events since the original .
If you haven't read it yet, you might want to but suffice it to say there's a new DC supervillain sheriff in DCU town and it might not be b🐟ig enough for them and Darkseid.
Let's just 🧸say Darkseid got stomped on and leave it at thꦓat.
But while Williamson appeared to be knocking DC's preeminent cosmi♋c supervillain down a peg, it appears his story and role in whatever new Crisis DC and the writer are cooking up isn't over yet.
, the first page of March's , the series finale. He also identifies it as a lead-in to April's Justice League #75, which as you probably heard from now features the "death" of nine out of ten of the current Justice League roster that includes Batman, W𝓀onder Woman, Superman, etc., and itself is the lead-into DC's upcoming new Crisis pꦰresumably also written by .., you guessed it, Joshua Williamson.
The page is to your right, and if you're wondering how Darks൩eid found time to start a family amidst his Infinite Frontier-era power-hungry shenanigans, he hasn't.
Theꦿ page (by artist Jesus Merino and colorist HiFi) is a take on the death of the cosmic despot's first wife Suli, the mother of his son Kalibak, at the hands of Desaad by the orders of Darkseid's own mom Heggra in a Game of Thrones-ish plot decades before Games of Thrones.
The n♔ew scene is basically a redo of these pages in Mark Evanier and Paris Cullins🤪' New Gods #8, part two of the '.
In the story (and the pages seen on the right and below), Lightray learns some of the ancient history of New Genesis, including this 🔴formative event in Darkseid's life.&nb𒐪sp;
Now the character's history has been rewritten over the years, but in this particular story's telling, at this point in his life Darks💧eid still had some goodness in him, and he and his wife Suli intended to rebuild New Genesis for "the common good," ambitions very unlike who we know as Darkseid and for those reasons didn't sit well with his power-hungry mom, who thought Suli was well ... un-corrupting him.
The murder of Darkseid's𓄧 wife had the intended effect, however, as Evanier and Cullins frame it as the moment all goodness was evaporated from him and he became consumed with rage, the acquisition of power, and removing "all vulnerabilities from his mind and soul."
Will𝓀amson includes the caption "Remember who you are" with the new page, p♐erhaps suggesting he and DC might be calling back to a time when Darkseid wasn't the all-consuming villain he is now.
As to its narrative purpose, that remains to be seen, but Da🦩rkseid remembering a time in his life where he wasn't full-on evil and there was some good in him might be fortuitous timing, as the very existence of the DC Omniverse is being threatened and the Justice League-less su💛perheroes may need all the help they can get.
