This volume concludes the 'Darkseid War' storyline from DC's Justice League series, collecting issues #46-50. The saga pits the League against the godlike Anti-Monitor and Darkseid, with the team gaining immense powers and facing catastrophic consequences that reshape the DC Universe. Written by Geoff Johns with art by Jason Fabok, this arc sets the stage for the 'Rebirth' era.
In "Darkseid War, Chapter Five: After Death, Part One," the Justice League faces a devastating turn as Grail and the possessed Steve Trevor unleash chaos, culminating in a shocking transformation that redefines the battle for Earth. Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok deliver a pivotal chapter where the cost of power is laid bare, and long-buried truths begin to surface—revealing new paths for Jessica Cruz, Wonder Woman, and the League’s darkest secrets. The cover by Jason Fabok captures the moment’s intensity, a striking image of sacrifice and revelation.
In the wake of Darkseid’s fall, the survivors grapple with the weight of what’s come to pass. The Flash struggles under the burden of the Black Racer’s mantle, Batman turns toward Gotham’s shadows, and Shazam feels the distant pull of the New Gods—while Superman, left behind on Apokolips, is drawn into a destiny that reshapes his power and purpose.
In the aftermath of devastation, Big Barda arrives to stand with the League against the Apokaliptian gods, her fierce resolve igniting a quiet spark with Scot that stirs something deep in Steve Trevor. As Diana and Steve share a fleeting moment, Superman’s arrival cuts through the tension—just as Grail, now in possession of the Anti-Life Equation, begins to wield its terrifying power.
In the midst of escalating chaos, Wonder Woman works to restore Superman’s clarity just as Batman and Green Lantern close in, while Cyborg’s mission to free Ultraman and Superwoman hits unexpected resistance. As tensions rise, Grail shares a troubling intention with her mother—her plans for Steve Trevor have only just begun.
In "Darkseid War, Chapter Eight: Gods of Justice, Part Two: Crime Pays," the Justice League joins forces with the Crime Syndicate to confront the enigmatic Mobius, a threat that tests the limits of heroism and villainy alike. As Ultraman falls and Lex Luthor makes his dramatic entrance, Superwoman’s labor begins—just as Grail quietly seizes Steve Trevor from the chaos, her motives still shrouded in mystery.
In "Darkseid War, Chapter Nine: Power Mad," Superman clashes with the enigmatic Mobius as Superwoman faces a pivotal moment during childbirth. With Grail returning and Steve Trevor now her weapon, the stakes rise as the battle for control of the universe reaches a fever pitch.
In "Darkseid War, Chapter Ten: Death and Rebirth," the Justice League faces a devastating turn as Grail and the possessed Steve Trevor unleash the full force of the Anti-Life Equation. With the fate of the team hanging in the balance, a desperate act by Superwoman sets off a chain of events that reshapes the battlefield—and the future—without revealing how it ends.
