The Fate Of The DC Multiverse And The Effect On Darkseid (Spoilers)

This Wednesday sees the final issue of Absolute Power #4 and the beginning of DC All In with the DC All In Special #1. Okay so… spoilers. Spoilers ahead for both, and how one sets up the other. You have been warned, right?

Previously, Amanda Waller closed off the multiverse to the superheroes, while using it as a way to recruit an army of her own, as well as find personalities for her Amazo robots. Which means it may have to be sacrificed.

At the beginning of the month, Bleeding Cool reported "that even after the good guys save the day, not everything will go back to where it was… the Multiverse will, somehow, be gone. Or inaccessible. No more Earth One/Earth-Two hijinks, no more DC/Marvel Amalgam, no more Kingdom Come guest stars, no more duplicate robot bat hands, no Zur-En-Arrhs. No more battles between versions of Donna Troy, Hawkman or Huntress."

Not the the same way a previous Crisis did it, I mean, it's still out there, just the usual access is no longer… available.

And in the DC All In Special, set fifty-two days after the events of Absolute Power #4 (because of course it is) this is becoming an increasing issue.

On one side of the comic, we see how this has affected Darkseid, expanding on his origins as well, in the fashion of Galactus, and hoe having no multiverse or omniverse access makes Darkseid a restless soul. While on the other…

… that this situation cannot last. Something is going to have to give. And when it does? It will be messy…
