Darkseid's loomed behind the run so far - his death started it and his passing's the reason its new threat, the Nyctari, are active now.

There's a child of prophecy tied to those god-purgers, one Metron's interested in.

He's made a pawn of Maxwell Lord - brought him out of his post-Rebirth-Wonder-Woman coma and turned his resources to acquiring the child.

In issue #7, some of New Genesis'd arrived on Earth fleeing the Nyctari.

Those of Apokolips who'd fled the enemy's coming there first had also made it to Earth. Max'd met them - and Metron'd smoothed enough the way to their combining forces.

( Their goal was the prophecy child, whom they understood to be Darkseid again. )

Bruce and Alfred have noticed that Robin has been unfocussed and a bit moody of late, and are stumped as to why, though Alfred has an idea and offers to have a word.

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Every couple of weeks I dive into the headlines, hoping there might be some news that it's actually possible to share without a mental health warning. And again I am disappointed.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 starts this week, so there's that, I guess.

Oh, and another UK heatwave, with the possibility of another this coming weekend. Yay?
