Have you been reading JUSTICE LEAGUE? Last month the Black Racer ripped a hole through Darkseid and ended an epic battle between the Anti-Monitor and Darkseid. Can you hear the mother boxes pinging to let everyone know? Darkseid is Dead!!!!

Now, the critically acclaimed “Darkseid War” continues as the second wave of war begins with “Darkseid War - Act Two: After Death”! The second wave begins as writer Geoff Johns is joined by superstar artist Francis Manapul for this special issue featuring the all-new, all-powerful Justice League!

In the aftermath of the cataclysmic events of JUSTICE LEAGUE #44, members of the League have gained great power —the power of Gods!— but at a great price. And that price may be their destruction! Can the Justice League handle the strength, wisdom, and abilities bestowed upon them?

And then there's the Prophecy from the Blind Prophet of Apokolips: "On the night of Darkseid's Death, a Human would Walk through the Ashes of Apokolips. And Everything would Change."

The people of Apokolips, the followers of Darkseid, find the prophecy fulfilled in none other than Lex Luthor! Darkseid's Omega Effect was unleashed with his death, and when it returns to Apokolips it can be contained.

In Luthor.

In a twist that only Luthor could believe is true, the people of Apokolips ask him to bring hope to their world and be a seeker of Truth and the embodiment of Justice.

Luthor accepts!

Everyone is transforming. New Gods are reborn. The DARKSEID WAR rages on. Which side are you rooting for? Team League or Team Luthor? Sound off in the comments below!
