just wanted to know if anyone else is reading this series? I know there has to be something happening that isn't shown but I cant place it. Any thoughts if you have any? I mean they are killing everyone: Orion dead, Granny Goodness dead, and others.

I'm reading it and loving it. The various New Gods have died a number of times over the years, so I'm not too concerned about that. This is mitigated by new characters who are given brilliant names. Beware the Lump!
As for what's actually happening, Darkseid has the Anti-Life Equation and reality is shifting to his worldview.

I've been actually avoiding this series as I didn't want it to subconsciously influence my own New Gods series, lol, and just seeing this scan and now knowing that Mister Miracle has assumed Highfather's role there too... I'm glad I did

I like the series too. Optically, I like how they are using visual humor of Scott always wearing different members of the JLA, though he is a member of the JLA. Booster Gold fan club to Nightwing.
As for the Darkseid part, I was assuming that Scott had the ALE, and he even confided it to Orion on trial. I know there is a reality shift and the artist portray that quite well with the boxing of 9 panels - you not knowing what is real and what is not cuz of the boxes and the off colors. Im also thinking that its more Scott with the ALE because of the recent revelation of Barda (Im trying not to spoil it for Dan but I assume you know what Im talking about if you have kept up with the series.)

Well for the purposes of artistic integrity I will remain in blissful ignorance... at least until I get a good ways into my own series... 10 issues maybe? We'll see... I have poor self control

(Im trying not to spoil it for Dan but I assume you know what Im talking about if you have kept up with the series.) Please feel free, I didn't mean to, for lack of a better word, hijack this thread. I will read no further. Spoil away to your heart's content.
