@justice_teen: Maybe after getting defeated by a child in the name of Darkseid left Kalibak upset and shifted his perspective. In any case I'm more then happy to see any writer ignore what happened in that story.
@outside_85: He's a New God, they don't die easily, especially not one of Darksied's men. Not like the why really matters anyways, he's around and he's probably gonna have some really cool fights.
I honestly dont get the hype for this story, yeah it does have interesting concepts but those elements are the brain child of another creator(Morrison).
But this story itself doesn't have much substance outside of " ZOMG Darkseid vs Anti-monitor".
Have not enjoyed a Justice league story this much since the JLA days, Fabok gets better and better with each issue. That Darkseid/Anti Monitor face off spread was outstanding!

But die he did save in Johns' mind.
Yet many of you guys forget that New Gods are always getting revived. Steppenwolf died one time and got revived by Desaad. Desaad died and Darkseid revived him. So most likely Steppenwolf got revived.

Only when Darkseid was the one to kill them in the first place.
I wonder if the survivors from the Crime Syndicate or Justice Society will join this fight? I mean the AM and Darkseid did destroy their respective Earths.
They definitely will. They have been teased too much for this event to not take part in it.

Well, people are bashing Morrison's WW: Earth One because it DOESN'T have fight scenes(as he said in an interview). So figure how much fights mean to some.
Personally, I was more excited about the build-up. Issue 40 promised some very intriguing concepts, but the future solicits kinda killed my excitement. One of my main parts I loved in the interviews was that this was supposed to be a self-contained event. Yet now we see that the "second phase" will be full of one-shots to get the full story, and the cliches plaguing it has made me cautious.
This story has potential, but currently it is reminiscent of Johns latest work, first and last issue full of story that actually feel crammed and middle issues that have little to no effect and the actual effects are spoiled through solicits.
I don't get the art when DS and AM started fighting. Its like they both punched at each other but missed. It also feels a little early for them to be fighting.
From evil sunrays we get evil Superman, that is just ridiculous
no such thing as "evil sunrays" were ever mentioned.
Lex didn't know, he fought that they were normal sun energy but because it's in Apokolips, everything is evil (he did said this when he fought the slaves). This turned Superman into Evil Superman.

We dont know if lex truly knows what he dropped superman into. So to just say something silly like "theyre evil sun rays" is just ridiculous .
Ive asked geoff johns, jason fabok, 2 DC editors and the writer that was writing Earth 2 at the time Steppenwolf died how he is still alive right now. Only the Earth 2 writer has replied so far. He said he had no idea how hes alive right now because he hasnt worked at DC for 2 years. When I get a reply, I will let everyone know.
Anybody else feel an eventual Batman vs Superman conflict leading up? Without spoiling it, batman is getting cocky, and is changing with his new found power... And superman might be getting in his way due to his change. And this supposed fight could do more in the story then just be a cheap fan pleasure.
I'm hoping they will branch out with a New Gods comic after this which will primarily feature Mister Miracle.
Same here, I'd really love an Orion book.
That makes two of us. Walt Simonson's Orion book was among my favorite Pre-Flashpoint stories. I'd love to see someone like Grant Morrison do another one.
A Mister Miracle book would also be quite intriguing. Especially if he still has the Anti-Life Equation...

Hmmm....most likely he just got revived but at least your're onto it.
I really wish the Olympus got involved in this. And that Diana is treated like a true god. I mean, she is the goddes of WAR, and there's a war going on right there, that should power her up, right?
@virgintroll: No problem. I can't find the specific thread that clarified on posting things such as those but a couple of months ago the mods and the admins talked about said rule.
Also, welcome to the Vine :)
Here are some other rules you could check out in order to avoid trouble with the moderators:
While this issue and story has been very good. This saga raises a few questions regarding dc's continuity. Well johns did say, Dc was gojng to focus on good story telling rather than continiuty. Which is a good and bad thing. I mean, with the whole "Good" story telling aspect, i think some characters might get to shine or in some cases shine even more for a story. This will also means to a lot of contradictions if u have been following every story which some of us do. Anyways, i wish Dc well, i hope it goes the way they want it to.
DC chiefs made it clear that is loose continuity...you don't have to follow or make a retail quiltwith the chronology
Very interesting, and it's nice to know Diana pulling Metron out of his chair is actually was Metron's intentions, Metron is the one setting the whole war up. And what did he mean I'll soon be freed?
So Superman immediately start losing power because there was no sun light? Didn't he flew through a few black holes after being lost in space last year, wtf?
Realistically speaking, Pre-New 52 Anti-Monitor would own Darkseid. I can only hope that this will remain the same in this battle, as I always thought of Anti-Monitor to be on par with Galactus and other high-end cosmic entities. Where as Darkseid to be on par with Thanos. Powerful, yes, but against someone like Anti-Monitor or Galactus... they're WAY outclassed. Unless there's a HUGE plot-device in the form of an all-powerful weapon or something.

You do know that there are stars in space right? So when he flew back through space from the black hole incident he was absorbing radiation from any and all stars nearby. But now he's in another dimension. Thats the difference.
@truth_teller: Yes, but since when does his powers fade so quickly when not under the sun? He couldn't even fly at the end of the issue and this is not the first time he went without the sun.

The error your making is in thinking that Apokolips atmosphere is the same as Supermans universe.
@truth_teller: you could be onto something, but even under a red sun it would be hours before he started losing powers. And he has had his powers in Apokolips before. But its all pre flashpoint so maybe things have changed, but seems more like a stupid plot device to me. I am sure down the line somone will write him tearing through enemies in Apokolips.
