Absolute And Omega In The DC Universe Today (Spoilers)

Absolute and Omega in the DC Universe today, with Challengers Of The Unknown, Superman, World's Finest, New Gods & Absolute Flash (Spoilers)

DC All In opened the box to the death of Darkseid, the Darkseid anomalies across the DC Universe and the Absolute Universe. And it's breaking out all over DC Comics titles today. We looked at a few of those in today's Summer Of Superman Special. With Validas giving us an Omega shoutout.

But over in today's Challengers Of The Unknown, there are more issues with Omega.

Infected by Darkseid's Omega, which spilt out of him after his death, he was attracted by the Challengers' death-defying antics.

But there's another word that enters the fray. And it is not a coincidental one.

Absolute Death. Absolute Omega. The strands of the universes are being drawn together.

While in today's New Gods, the legacy of Darkseid holds strong.

And it's time for the New Gods to return to Earth where a familiar face (and fist) is waiting for them.

While Validus is being tortured by Darkseid's Absolute Legion Of Super-Heroes.

But back in Challengers Of The Unknown, the word Absolute is doing some heavy lifting.

As Absolute and Omega are treated as synonyms.

Or Absolute and Omega puzzles…

And suggesting a massive store of Omega exists…

Just somewhere else. Could it be where Booster Gold is being crucified on the altar of Omega?

But for all this talk of Omega and Absolute, someone in the Challengers Of The Unknown did not get the message…

No, no, no, not the Ultimate Unknown but the Absolute Unknown! Get your adjectives right? But just as Validus uses the Darkseid anomalies in the time continuum to jump around Smallville…

…so the Challengers Of The Unknown are doing the same for their final issue.

Yes, I know it was repeatedly solicited as a six-issue series, seems not, and the next DC All In Special will pick up the slack… and who else will they bump into back then???

With time-travelling Gorillas…

…and Absolute Flashes as well! So… who is going to run into who, along the way?

(W) Christopher Cantwell (A/CA) Sean Izaakse

As the rift between the Challengers and the Justice League grows and becomes untenable, it's up to Rocky Davis and Wonder Woman to try to get to the heart of the matter…or die trying! But an old foe will rear its head once more–this time aboard the Watchtower, all in an effort to use the Challengers as a means to a nefarious end. Doors close, and alliances tilt, even while other gateways open…
