A forgotten moment in Darkseid's history may be key to DC's next Crisis

gamesradar.com:

Extremely busy writer Joshua Williamson dropped a DC continuity bomb in February 1's Justice League Incarnate #4, basically rewriting the history of the entire DC Omniverse and the context of almost all the publisher's Crises and other major events since the original Crisis on Infinite Earths. 

If you haven't read it yet, you might want to but suffice it to say there's a new DC supervillain sheriff in DCU town and it might not be big enough for them and Darkseid.

Let's just say Darkseid got stomped on and leave it at that. 

But while Williamson appeared to be knocking DC's preeminent cosmic supervillain down a peg, it appears his story and role in whatever new Crisis DC and the writer are cooking up isn't over yet. 

Williamson posted an unlettered page to Twitter on February 4, the first page of March's Justice League Incarnate #5, the series finale. He also identifies it as a lead-in to April's Justice League #75, which as you probably heard from now features the "death" of nine out of ten of the current Justice League roster that includes Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, etc., and itself is the lead-into DC's upcoming new Crisis presumably also written by .., you guessed it, Joshua Williamson.

The page is to your right, and if you're wondering how Darkseid found time to start a family amidst his Infinite Frontier-era power-hungry shenanigans, he hasn't. 

The page (by artist Jesus Merino and colorist HiFi) is a take on the death of the cosmic despot's first wife Suli, the mother of his son Kalibak, at the hands of Desaad by the orders of Darkseid's own mom Heggra in a Game of Thrones-ish plot decades before Games of Thrones. 

The new scene is basically a redo of these pages in Mark Evanier and Paris Cullins' New Gods #8,
