When Darkseid conquered reality, the Quantum Quorum rewound time, giving Earth's superheroes a brief window of freedom. They could use it to say goodbye to their families. Or they could even live on, after a fashion. But the Justice League didn't want to live on as reflections of themselves in a mirror universe. So, to reclaim their reality, they had to fight for it.

 

Yet after their victory, visions bound Earth’s heroes to perform onerous tasks. They had to stand alongside villains in their Watchtower and go on missions together. Earth’s governments had to accept that the people they counted on to protect them might have pasts drenched in blood. And inexplicably, Cyborg has preserved the Heart of Apokolips in Mount Titan.

 

Are Earth’s heroes and villains ready for Darkseid’s prophesied return? And why does Darkseid have an insatiable need to control everything? Let’s leap into the DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World #1 and see!

 

Story

People may fear him. They may dread his return. But Darkseid has a plan he is working toward. He wants everyone to understand how his great dream benefits everyone. So, as heroes celebrate their victory in the Omega Tournament and prepare for Darkseid’s return, he takes his message directly to the people. But before he paints his rosy future, Darkseid looks back at where he came from.

 

In DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World #1, he addresses the reader. He shares how he became the Lord of Apokolips. Then he shares his recent past, including how and why he created his Absolute Universe. Still, Darkseid isn’t through. His plan encompasses all of space and time. So, as he intersperses his narrative with clashes between himself and superhumans on two worlds, Darkseid shares his ultimate dream.

 

Ironically, Darkseid’s goal evokes the futures that the Heart of Apokolips offered each contestant. Many contestants would likely have been tempted to accept the Heart's offer and transform Earth into their version of paradise. Yet Superman, who triumphed in the tournament, resisted the Heart's offer and returned Earth-Zero to its former state. Thus, Darkseid needs to get his message out. Superman may be perceived as a champion of hope. But Darkseid sees Superman as a destroyer of everything that matters in DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World #1.

 

Art

As a star travels through space, it burns and swells with energy. Then it forms a symbol before resolving into Darkseid. He stands before the Heart of Apokolips, which empowers him. Then he stands before the machinery that will help him build his miraculous new reality. Circles portraying heroes from different worlds float in space. Darkseid rises in profile behind them, gazing up with determination as he resolutely works toward his dream. Then he faces his audience. While Earth-Zero is crucial to his plans, the giant visionary gazes over the planet, showing how his plans extend far beyond one world.

 

Sanford Green helps Darkseid tell his story across panel-packed pages and one-page montages. Double-page layouts showcase conflicts between Darkseid and metahumans and introduce the heroes of the Absolute Universe. While Matt Herms adorns DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World #1 in the colors of Darkseid’s eternal enemy, violet and indigo also appear as he carries out his plan. But then, Darkseid wants to give people what he believes is best for them.

 

Harbinger: Story

In this 10-page story, Joshua Williamson shows Darkseid’s desire to share his Omega energy with everyone. He resurrects Pandora and gives her a new purpose. Darkseid’s abilities allow him to see the truth she hides from others. But like the superhumans of all the Earths in the multiverse, Pandora must decide whether to fight Darkseid or bow to his will.

 

Harbinger: Art

Darkseid wishes to dominate all reality. Yet Pandora stands between heroes from different universes as the Flash races around the Earth. Despite her reddish-violet cloak, lines of color flow across her. Yet when she revives across an orange 9-panel grid, Pandora loses her kaleidoscopic appearance. The woman with light-indigo hair rises before Darkseid. Instead of the Flash’s yellow energy, white energy crackles around Darkseid. Red lightning bolts encircle Pandora's features. Yet, Yasmine Putri shows the red fire burning in Darkseid’s eyes.

 

Lettering

Darkseid shares his past and reveals the reasons behind his plans, using white uppercase letters in black narrative boxes. When he addresses heroes, he speaks white letters into black dialogue balloons with straight-edged borders. His opponents, and the woman he wants to serve him, speak black letters into spherical white balloons as they defy his glorious vision. Yet Pandora reveals her thoughts and tells her story in white boxes with red borders. Steve Wands’ sound effects enhance Darkseid’s encounters with metahumans, his determination to make Pandora his servant, and his sacrifice to give everyone a better tomorrow.

 

Final Thoughts

When they traveled into the Earth’s core, Earth’s heroes had to play by the Heart of Apokolips’ rules. They battled their morals and pushed past their self-imposed limits to achieve victory. Yet the heroes’ justification for killing their opponents seems eerily similar to Darkseid’s rationale for building his kinder, gentler, and more fulfilling reality in DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World #1.

A thousand years from now, the United Planets are struggling. On Earth, R. J. Brande spearheaded efforts to help troubled planets remain in the union. Yet while the rich man sought to help stabilize the UP, he secretly researched a forbidden topic. In a galactic society where Super-Heroes are illegal, Brande sought to learn what he could about them. Yet on distant planets like Winath, young people like Garth yearn to use their unregistered superpowers to safeguard their societies.

 

His partner may wish Brainiac One of Five would stick to investigating paying jobs. Still, Tenzil helps his partner break into R. J. Brande’s office. Why does the United Planets fear unregistered Super-Heroes? And what did Brande hope to accomplish? Let’s lose any nearby Persuaders, leap into Legion of Super-Heroes #2, and see!

 

Story

After deactivating the robot guard and accessing Brande’s surveillance records, Brainiac learns who killed the United Planets Council member. Then the Persuaders arrive. The UP police don’t want anyone to know about R. J. Brande's secret and illegal obsession.

 

While Legion of Super-Heroes #2 follows Brainiac's search for the truth, the story checks in with Rokk Krinn and Imra. It also links the disgraced Magnoball player on Braal with the Princess of Titan. But the primary focus remains on how Brainiac and Tenzil’s investigation of R. J. Brande’s death links with Garth and Ayla’s reunion with their older brother. Mekt’s retelling of his recent adventures enthralls Garth. Yet his sister worries their older brother could damage their family's future.

 

Joshua Williamson’s story reveals the power factions that rule the struggling interstellar society. It also shows how the authorities rule their worlds with an iron hand. As a truly omnivorous Bismollian, Tenzil may hunger for the Persuaders’ armor. Yet Brainiac’s thirst for the truth antagonizes the people who control the narrative. When the private detectives and the Persuaders discover that Mekt killed R. J. Brande, both parties race across the galaxy to question him first. Yet what a telepathic princess on Saturn’s richest moon has discovered could be even more important than R. J. Brande’s repository of Super-Hero knowledge in Legion of Super-Heroes #2.

 

Art

Amid Earth's rounded towers, the circular Persuaders emblem adorns a cracked tablet. As circles or partial circles frame events on Earth, the Persuaders' masks bear a frown. The leader swoops through the sky on wings, while Princess Imra's jacket evokes feathers. Yet on Winath, diagonal lines and diamond patterns define pages as Mekt reunites with his siblings. On Braal, circular panels show glowing circles surrounding Rokk's hands. On Titan, symbols in white circles represent Princess Imra's psychic communication with her elders.

 

As Hayden Sherman weaves the tapestry of life across the United Planets, Tamra Bonvillain adorns Legion of Super-Heroes #2 with a vibrant palette. While Garth and Ayla wear blue and yellow, their red hair links them to their blonde brother’s red-and-green costume. As violet-and-indigo Rokk works on his orange world, Princess Imra walks past orange columns to behold her violet-and-indigo city. While the blue Persuaders seek to crush hope in unlicensed Super-Heroes, Brainiac One of Five's red-and-green skin links him with Mekt’s costume. Yet his violet-and-indigo clothes link him with Rokk Krinn and Princess Imra.

 

Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou fills white balloons with black uppercase letters. Intonation emboldens words. Lowercase letters convey lowered voices. Raised voices swell letters, change text color, and deform balloons. While Brainiac One of Five speaks white letters into red rectangles, the Persuaders speak black letters into light-blue boxes. Yellow letters with red outlines identify places, while violet words in white shapes interest one character. Yet as sound effects enhance the detectives' flight and aspiring Super-Heroes' fight, one non-Persuader's offscreen comment appears as black uppercase letters in a blue box. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

The United Planets struggle to govern so many solar systems. Anyone with superpowers must register with the authorities, and only the oppressive Persuaders can legally use them. Either R. J. Brande forgot that Super-Heroes nearly destroyed their society, or he began to question his government’s official history. Either way, now he's dead. And anyone he interacted with could become the Persuaders' next target in Legion of Super-Heroes #2.

Zod didn't ask for Ursa's older self to appear and validate Jor-El's prophecies of doom and gloom. But when he saw Supergirl and young Superboy bearing the symbol of the House of El, Zod realized that his enemy was right. When they arrived on Earth and Superman welcomed him as a friend, Zod wanted to pool their resources to save Krypton. But after losing his way in the time stream while trying to correct Darkseid’s damage to the future, Superman asserted that attempting such a monumental change to the past could do incalculable damage to the present.

 

Zod is used to destroying anyone who doesn’t fall into line. But can Superman and Zod forge a compromise? Or will Zod and Superman confirm Presidente Eduardo Castilho’s fear that the war isn’t over, and El Caldero has become a battleground for aliens? Let’s leap over tall buildings into Superman: Kingdom Of Zod Special #1 and see!

 

Story

Young Zod may not want to fight. But Ursa's revelations have robbed him of hope for the future. So, when Superman refuses to help him establish a Kryptonian Kingdom on Earth, Zod has nothing to live for unless he goes to war against Superman’s forces and wins. Yet while young Zod’s goals align with his deceased older self, Ursa’s back is also against the wall. The experiment on New Kandor proves that Zod’s goals are misguided. Krypton can never be replicated. Nor can it be improved upon. The only way to preserve everything she treasures is to destroy the timeline by saving her home world.

 

While Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1 covers the battle over Earth and Krypton, Joshua Williamson begins his story in the past. Clark Kent and Lois have relocated to Hamilton County to raise Jon while preserving their secret identities. Yet, while advising him to use his powers responsibly, Jon asks his father if he has done anything he later regretted.

 

As Superman and his forces seek to resolve the conflict in El Caldero, Joshua Williamson, Mark Waid, Dan Slott, and Sophie Campbell also show the fallout of their actions. Superman has many regrets. While his choices regarding Zod weigh on him, he also realizes that he abandoned his responsibilities as the leader of the House of El on Earth. Zod’s actions in El Caldero, and Superboy-Prime’s actions in Metropolis, may have profound implications for the Super-family. Superman is on the back foot and needs to catch up on everything he has missed. Yet as Superman recognizes that he must adapt to unexpected changes in his family, another leader renews familial ties in Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1.

 

Art

In a flashback from Jon’s childhood, Clark leans forward as he expresses his anger at his son’s irresponsible actions. Then he relaxes and smiles when Jon’s response reminds him of his youth. Clark sits on the bed beside his son, still leaning forward, as he tries to warn him of the potential dangers of his actions. Yet he turns away and stands with his back to Jon, staring into the sky, as he remembers a decision that weighs on his soul. Clark’s memory fills the background in Jon’s bedroom, bridging the earlier conflict with a double-page spread of their present. As the war between the Super-family and younger Zod's forces proves more intense than earlier battles, Steel and his niece battle Zod’s ground forces. While the battle rages around them, Princess Shark yearns to help Lena Luthor.

 

As Paolo Villanelli, Sophie Campbell, David Messina, Rachael Stott, and Bruno Frenda chart the chaos and aftermath in El Caldero, they also follow the Super-family when it disperses. Arif Prianto, Tamra Bonvillain, Ivan Plascensia, Giuliano Peratelli, and Luis Guerrero adorn Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1 with a series of lavish palettes. Violet and indigo link Zod’s forces with Kara’s future. While an outsider in the Super-family, Superboy-Prime’s gray armor bridges the gap with the Steelworks team. Zod's dark gray uniform suggests the dangers of trying to resurrect the past. But Ursa's black outfit symbolizes that rejecting the present bodes ill for the future.

 

While Josh Reed fills white dialogue balloons with black uppercase letters, Kara’s thoughts fill puffy clouds. The letters grow bold with intonation, shrink with lowered voices, and enlarge for raised voices. Yet dialogue in a white star suggests another decision that will haunt Superman forever. Sound effects accompany Booster Gold’s attempt to atone for his mistakes and Lena’s race to find a solution to the chaos. Yet Nightflame’s green dialogue balloons link with Zod’s schemes in El Caldero, and another character’s plans for the Super-family. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

Every responsible parent wants the best for their family. Likewise, responsible leaders want the best for those they serve. Yet, both must recognize when it's time to step aside and let others choose their paths. As Superman struggles to deal with the changes that occurred during his absence, Booster Gold must accept responsibility for his actions with young Clark. In the aftermath of El Caldero, new dangers arise to threaten the Super-family's future in Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1.
