"Darkseid Is. Darkseid Was" For DC All-In & Absolute

"Darkseid Is. Darkseid Was"... the new tagline for DC All-In and DC Absolute to be revealed this Wednesday.

We have seen Darkseid at the heart of the DC All-In and Absolute Universe promotions. We have a new New Gods comic coming from Ram V and Evan Cagle. We have been told that the Absolute Universe is born as a result of Darkseid and all his vibes because that's how this universe will rock, with the heroes having to shine that bit brighter.

And now the new Justice League Unlimited #1 as part of DC Comics' November 2024 solicits and solicitations promises that it's all in "the wake of Absolute Power and the DC All In Special, Darkseid's death has triggered a massive power vacuum in the DCU" and that "our heroes work to uncover the mystery of the dark lord's successor."

I don't suppose Amanda Waller killed him, did she? No idea, but the All-In advert seen in this coming Wednesday's DC Comics does imply that a certain Darkseid has ceased to be. "Darkseid Is. Darkseid was." Referencing the "Darkseid is" statement, originated by Grant Morrison and Howard Porter in JLA in the nineties, recently revived by Tom King and Mitch Gerads, with Mister Miracle, and made iconic for the character.

Will Absolute Power end with the Death Of Darkseid to birth the Absolute Universe or will they save that just for the DC All-In Special?
