Flash and Darkseid Are First Casualties Of DC's New Crossover
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Justice League Incarnate #5
In the final issue of Justice League Incarnate #5, it's revealed that Barry Allen's Flash and the Lord of Apokolips Darkseid are the first major casualties ahead of DC's next big crossover.

Seeking to return the entire multiverse into the nothingness it once was, the Great Darkness cares little for who's good or not. As such, Darkseid is seen fighting the Empty Hand to defend the multiverse's existence in Justice League Incarnate #5 by Joshua Williamson, Dennis Culver, Andrei Bressan, and Jesús Merino.
