Continuing with Didio and Giffen's Fourth World Stories.
In the middle of Infinity Man & the Forever People.

And here we go...

I was hoping the Future's End tie-ins would be a bit more creative like the way Armageddon 2001's were. Forcing everything to be in continuity with each other constrained things too much.

I mean, think of the three Superman futures in Armageddon 2001
>Metropolis is nuked, Supes starts slip-sliding into insanity until Batman kills him
>Lois dies, Supes goes into space and marries Maxima
>Supes gets his identity revealed and becomes president

...

That's true.
The best Futures Ends one, from a story standpoint, were either ones that focused on its series to give some plot closures or ones like this one....complete horror shows of despair.

That's fucked up.

Agreed.

Part 5:
wherein Bat-Cow!

I'll always laugh at how Didio and Giffen turned Vykin's connection with the Mother Box and turned it into....this.

>argued the merits of "New Gods" with a jesuit and a monk
Hahaha

I want there to be a post-apocalyptic movie where some remnants of humanity take Kirby's Fourth World Saga as scripture.

This can only end well!

Cool.

Part 6:
wherein all the colors
And the only good New Gods-related thing about the piece of shit called "Godhead"

Didio loves Bat-Cow

...

This changes up some stuff from the Darkseid origin one-shot.

In that version, Highfather was Darkseid's brother in law, presumably changed because Didio and Giffen realized this would obviously mean that Scott Free would be half-apokoliptian too,

...

...

Glorious Godfrey was busy being badly reinvented in Batman & Robin...so Didio and Giffen replaced him.

...

...

...

they never collected this did they

...

The trade got cancelled, yeah.

Hey, the 1st standalone issue was good.

Briefly.

Fuck bitches, acquire Motherbox.

Futures End had King Faraday survive the apocalypse by hiding in his "COMMAND-D" Bunker.

Is that worth noting? Who knows?

Part 8:

Cold Blooded!
