Warning: includes a preview for Infinite Frontier #6!
In a new preview for Infinite Frontier #6, Darkseid reveals that he has found something more powerful than the Anti-Life Equation! After the events of Dark Nights: Death Metal, the multiverse was supposedly restored back to normal. However, it’s been made very clear that there are big ramifications to hitting the reset button. For instance, many dead characters have been begun to pop up on a regular basis. In addition, an entirely new, undiscovered Earth appeared as the Omniverse was reborn, which is where Darkseid comes in.
The Infinite Frontier miniseries is designed to serve as “Act One,” of a larger story planned by writer Joshua Williamson. The next stage in DC Comics’ master plan will continue in the newly announced miniseries Justice League Incarnate. The new Justice Incarnate-focused series is directly spinning off of the end of the sixth and final issue of Infinite Frontier. DC has teased that the conclusion to the miniseries will see Darkseid delivering a devastating blow to the Multiverse’s heroes.
DC Comics just released a new preview for Infinite Frontier #6 by Joshua Williamson, Xermanico, and Romulu Fajardo Jr. In the preview, Darkseid talks about how he became the ultimate version of himself and how he was imprisoned. Despite readers knowing most of this information already, it’s a handy heap of exposition to remind everyone of the exact reason for his return. According to Darkseid, as soon as he returned he was swept away by the Quintessence and brought to Earth-Omega. And to his surprise, Earth-Omega turned out to be of much more value than he initially thought.
DC readers may be aware that Darkseid’s endgame has always been to acquire the Anti-Life Equation, which is supposedly the ultimate weapon to control all of reality. This is because it has the ability to render any and all beings into a state of endless hopelessness. However, in this preview, Darkseid unveils that he has acquired something even more powerful. Along with this, Williamson has teased that Darkseid is after something more powerful than himself. But his reference to how futile Anti-Life is, really highlights the true extent of this mysterious new power. It’s potentially beyond anything that Darkseid, or anyone for that matter, has ever encountered before.
DC’s heroes are going to be challenged like never before as they engage in battle with Darkseid’s newly formed army of ex-heroes and villains. Additionally, with the Omega Lantern by his side, it seems that he will be able to get his hands on this all-powerful mega weapon. But what could be more powerful than the Anti-Life Equation? The dark truth of Darkseid‘s plans will be revealed when Infinite Frontier #6 hits shelves September 7.
