Last thing, Why did Lex put Superman's shield on his chest at the end again? Is that something to be explained later? Because I have no idea why he did it.

Her plan seemed to be having a suped up Darkseid as a weapon (with the power of the omega effect, Apokolips lava pits, and the god of gods then add on the power of the Anti-Life Equation) under her control. The only thing that confused me was the "The chosen one is the first male to lay foot on Themysciera" What is he the chosen one of? You mean it shouldnt work as a power to be obtained? Thats basically what its always been. Its explained the baby can take it since he is the offspring of Mazahs who can absorb all kinds of energies. I am still a little confused on how the baby became Darkseid though. Also i hope (dont think it will) they dont make a story arc similar to the current Apocalypse character as a child being brought up who has a choice to be good or bad

She had the Anti-Life Equation and then put it in Steve Trevor who used it to kill the Anti-Monitor and then it was placed in the baby which then had it separated from him and i believe someone said it was dispursed

It was an enjoyable story arc overall, even if the ending stumbled quite a bit. Grail's endgame was too incoherent, with Johns trying to "change hands" too many times between too many final villains and Grail's change of heart happening much too suddenly (even if it we are to believe it was primarily due to the magic lasso).

I'm excited to see a new writing team take the helm of Justice League going forward.

(lol at what happened to Owlman.)

It's a good story arc, but changing multiple concepts that were defined by previous writers throughout history is unnecessary. And I just couldn't get into Grail's character. She just comes off as another bland mindless villain. Mr. Miracle is one of the most stood out characters in this story arc for me.

@degraaf: If you read the JL Darkseid War Special, Grail studied other secrets in the ways to use the anti-life equation. Grail has the ability to resurrect and formed a recipe to reincarnate Darkseid from the newborn such as absorbing the powers of the JL heroes that became gods (one of them being Luthor was able to possess the Omega Effect) and fusing the anti-life equation.

Too many loose ends and questionable plot points to be a 5 star, but damn despite those flaws it was a great issue
