Darkseid's Evil Is Secretly Motivated By Love, And DC Just Proved It
Warning: contains preview pages for Justice League Incarnate #5!
With one tragic scene, DC Comics has proved that even Darkseid — the despotic Lord of Apokolips — has a heart. In a preview for Justice League Incarnate #5, on sale March 1 in print and digital, readers watch Darkseid relive the death of his first wife. In a stunningly poignant scene, he struggles to make sense of it, and readers learn it still drives Darkseid eons later. The issue is written by Joshua Williamson and Dennis Culver, drawn by Andrei Bressan and Jesus Merino, colored by Hi-Fi and lettered by Tom Napolitano.
The name Darkseid inspires fear and terror across the DC Universe and at the dawn of Infinite Frontier, the villain ascended to his ultimate form, first killing the Quintessence before embarking on a quest across the multiverse, seeking the Great Darkness, which lurks outside its boundaries. The Justice League Incarnate engaged Darkseid and he dealt the team their first defeat. Believing that Darkseid was seeking the Great Darkness for his own ends, the Justice League Incarnate tracked Darkseid to Earth-7, which was being attacked by the Empty Hand. There, the team learned that Darkseid was also trying to stop the Great Darkness. The Empty Hand, an immensely powerful being from outside the multiverse, has also been after the Great Darkness, and in an impressive display of power, nearly killed Darkseid. The Lord of Apokolips may be down but he is not out, and in a preview for Justice League Incarnate #5, he draws strength from a surprising source.
