The fourth printing will feature an updated version of Hixon’s first-printing main cover and a new variant cover by Derrick Chew.
And the story continues in Absolute Batman: Beyond Ark M #1, coming this December. Scott Snyder, Frank Tieri, and Francesco Francavilla dive into the disturbing origin of Professor Pyg and the Joker’s worldwide arks!
In Absolute Batman: Ark M #1, we took you inside the darkest recesses of Ark M…now prepare to see what’s beyond! As the Joker surveys his empire of Arks, learn what terrible secrets and bone-chilling shocks lurk within them!
Darkseid is…only just beginning. The ultimate anti-life in the universe has been at the heart of the “DC All In Saga” since its beginning…and while the King Omega battle has been won by the forces of good, the war against Darkseid has only just begun! All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World presents the hidden past of the being called Uxus, his descent into Darkseid, and his plans for the fate of all creation!
Darkseid has been near the center of DC’s “All in Saga” acting as the villain for major events and delivering major moments regarding the ongoing meta story playing out. If you don’t care about that, you can skip All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World. The issue acts as a way to clear up and allow readers to catch up to Darkseid’s plan as the DC Universe barrels away towards the next major event(s).
The issue is broken into two parts. Scott Snyder writes the first with art by Sanford Greene, color by Matt herms, and lettering by Steve Wands. Here we get the origin of Darkseid and what’s driving his current actions and what his vision is. It lays things out in simple terms adding in his perspective on things. We learn of the Alpha and the Omega and who Darkseid sees as his counter in the DC universe. It’s interesting in some ways and makes things clearer but it also continues to elevate a certain superhero that already feels like the DC universe revolves around. It continues a shift that’s been clear since the All In initiative began. The story and reveals have their moments but only really play to those who really care about the ongoing story of Darkseid and events where he’s the center. For casual readers, they may feel lost. It also spotlights that there’s been a lot of one-off quick teases of what’s going on that have made little sense and feel like they’re abandoned to the point we need a comic like this to remind readers and connect the dots.
The second story is written by Joshua Williamson with art by Yasmine Putri and lettering by Steve Wands. It follows Pandora. Remember her? Yeah, this story literally calls back to the “New 52” and highlights my biggest issue of the DC Universe, that it often relies on obscure trivia or moments that haven’t been a thing in decades. Darkseid has a task for Pandora as we see how she plays into whatever is coming. Again, like the first story, this one is for the hardcore fans… but the really hardcore fans… like ones that have been hanging on and debating moments from the formation of the “New 52.” It teases what’s to come with Pandora’s role which might be interesting in how it plays out but overall comes off as a sliver of a massive picture.
All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World is for the diehard DC fans that buy, read, and examine every little moment. For the casual readers, it’s fine if you’re sold already on what’s to come or want a tease of the next big event with Darkseid. Overall, it feels like an issue that has to exist because the meta story is so scattered in its parts that you need a guide to connect all of the dots and make it clear as to what’s going on. As far as the content, it does a good job of explaining things and catching up readers but the bigger question is, will they care if they’re not already invested?

SCOTT SNYDER, JOSHUA WILLIAMSON, SANFORD GREENE AND YASMINE PUTRI TELL THE UNFORGETTABLE STORY OF DARKSEID’S PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!
Darkseid is… only just the beginning.
The ultimate anti-life in the universe has been at the heart of the DC All In Saga since its beginning… and while the King Omega battle has been won by the forces of good, the war against Darkseid has only just begun! Comics superstars Scott Snyder and Sanford Greene present the hidden past of the being called Uxus , his descent into Darkseid, and his plans for the fate of all creation ! It’s DC’s premier villain as you’ve never seen him before, by the biggest names in comics, in DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World!
The Fourth World is coming to Earth, and the consequences will reverberate across the DC Universe. This January, writers Ram V and Alex Paknadel join artist Joan Urgell for DC All In Saga: The New Gods #1, a 48-page one-shot that brings Mister Miracle and the surviving New Gods directly into the unfolding DC All In Saga.
Mister Miracle thought he could escape anything. But in the wake of unimaginable upheaval, Scott Free has taken on a role he can’t escape: Highfather. With New Genesis occupied by sinister alien forces, the New Gods have taken refuge on Earth, leaving Scott responsible for leading a displaced people searching for safety on a planet that is not their own.
Their arrival on our world will not go unnoticed.
Fourth World technology is being illegally traded on Earth, and tensions are rising as Mister Miracle and the New Gods attempt to peacefully coexist with their new neighbors. With their homeworld beyond their reach and their extraordinary technology falling into dangerous hands, the remaining New Gods must find their place in the DC Universe before the fragile sanctuary they have found becomes another battlefield.
DC All In Saga: The New Gods builds on the larger story that began in 2024’s DC All In Special #1 and continues this fall in DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. The World #1. The latter, written by Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson with art by Sanford Greene and Yasmine Putri, arrives October 28 and reveals more of Darkseid’s past, present, and future as the war surrounding DC’s ultimate evil continues.
Darkseid has loomed over the DC All In Saga from its beginning. His consequential confrontation with the heroes of the DC Universe in the DC All In Special helped spark the Absolute Universe, and the repercussions of his actions continue to reach across both worlds. Even as the surviving New Gods face a crisis of their own, Darkseid’s shadow remains impossible to escape.
DC All In Saga: The New Gods #1, written by Ram V and Alex Paknadel with art by Joan Urgell and Romulo Fajado, Jr., features a main cover by Nimit Malavia and variant covers by Dustin Nguyen, Kyuyong Eom, Jason Shawn Alexander, and Javi Fernández, plus a foil variant cover by Nguyen. The 48-page one-shot arrives at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on January 13, 2027, for $5.99 US, with card stock variants available for $6.99 US.
