Darkseid Is Dead. What Is Going to Happen Now?

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for DC Comics and a deep-rooted affection for the cosmic lore of the universe they’ve crafted over the years, I must say I am genuinely thrilled about the upcoming series, “The New Gods.” Being an avid comic book reader myself, I can hardly wait to get my hands on the first issue set for release this coming December.


In many live-action portrayals of DC Comics stories, a large portion of their cosmic mythology – initially crafted by renowned comic book artist Jack Kirby long ago – remains largely untouched.

In that case, animated versions excelled, but for comprehensive understanding, delve into the comic books as they will be our main subject in this upcoming report.

Recently, we discussed an upcoming comic book series titled “The New Gods,” scheduled to debut on December 18, 2024, written by Ram V and featuring art by Evan Cagle and Jorge Fornés. This new series will focus on the New Gods as suggested by its title, but it seems there are some surprises in store for us.

Initially, we shared that Orion, Darkseid‘s son, would take center stage. However, it appears that Darkseid himself will be significant as his absence in the narrative could lead to substantial consequences. Continue reading to uncover further details!

As a devoted DC fan, I’d say that Darkseid stands tall as the epitome of villainy in many tales. His power is such that it could conquer almost any adversary, but what truly sets him apart is his desire for dominion – not just over known realms, but also those yet to be discovered.

In a more casual and accessible manner, here’s your suggestion: His aspirations can be quite perilous, but you’re aware that the Justice League has typically handled such situations. Now, in the “New Gods” series, we find out what impact Darkseid’s demise will have on the story, as explained by author Ram V.

A significant aspect of The New Gods’ proposal is that Darkseid’s vacancy will give rise to the Ultimate Universe. The New Gods have traditionally occupied a unique vantage point, situated at the intersection of multiple universes within the DC multiverse, observing but not actively participating in their dramas.

As a gamer diving into this narrative, I find myself intrigued by the fact that despite the multiverse seemingly being sealed off, these New Gods possess a unique ability – they can traverse between the All-In universe and the Absolute Universe, even if they’re not aware of it yet. Intriguingly, their actions unknowingly intertwine these two realms in fascinating ways. With Darkseid being one of these New Gods, his ultimate destiny is deeply entwined with the events unfolding in this book as well.

Afterward, not just that, but this narrative was marketed as a tale bridging the Fourth World and the main DCU. As we progress through this series, expect to witness Earth being invaded by New Gods, with Green Lanterns, Superman, and Wonder Woman all becoming part of it. So these events are forthcoming.

Without a doubt, this fresh perspective on the tale promises to be quite intriguing, and we eagerly anticipate its read. To wrap up, let me briefly share the main points from the official summary:

As a devoted follower, I can’t help but feel the profound ripples of an ancient deity’s demise, echoing throughout the cosmos. This cataclysmic event stirs the ranks of an interstellar military force and awakens within a child on Earth powers long dormant. Yet, these events were foretold – prophesied by the enigmatic Source, and subtly revealed to its emissary, Metron, in cryptic visions.

Currently, Metron delivers news of a cataclysmic prophecy to the inhabitants of New Genesis and Apokolips, causing both realms to erupt into turmoil and conflict. Meanwhile, on Earth, Scott Free and Barda remain oblivious to this impending chaos as they grapple with their toughest challenge yet: parenthood. Ram V and Evan Cagle introduce a new generation to the Fourth World in this grand cosmic tale. The death of an ancient deity signals the birth of the New Gods!

The New Gods #1 will be available on December 18th, 2024, from DC Comics!
