Galactus highly fed Vs Darkseid with the Soul-Fire solution(and all the plot devices that come with it)..
"DS CURBSTOMP "
Soul fire is a project of Darkseid way back from the late eighties. Basically, it's a potion which, when administered to a human expands his mind by several orders of magnitude, allowing him to perceive the Anti life equation. Darkseid and Desaad hoped to use this in order to extract the equation out of human minds. It worked, but had a side effect: Every human would spontaneously combust within a short period of taking the potion, moments before they could understand the equation.
In Death of the New Gods, Darkseid, having previously collected the souls of nearly every other New God, takes the potion, allowing him ascend to relative omnipotence to the point of actually being able to overwhelm the Source.

"And why didn't you like the storyline?
Death Of The New Gods, while a decent concept, was horribly, horribly written. And Grant Morrison retconned most of it with Countdown and Final Crisis.
Well for once, It made no sense in the context of Final crisis, which is the only reason the series was produced. Grant Morrison envisioned a grand war in heavens, and all of FC and Seven Soldiers alludes to it, and then we get not a war, but a murder mystery. Not only that, it made no sense in relation to countdown, which it was a tie in to. DotNG is a big reason why DC's continuity went south for the winter with FC."And why didn't you like the storyline?

Second, I am extremely annoyed with Jim Starlin's inability to write a comic without some new way of becoming omnipotent. He's written three mini series for DC in the past 20 years, and all three had a new cosmic entity of unparalleled power in it. I'm not saying they weren't good, but geez. Put him in a daredevil comic, and you'd see Daredevil throwing planets around in no time. Third, Jim Starlin doesn't know how to write Gods. His Darkseid is interesting, but all the other Gods act and behave like idiotic people you take of the street. At one point Superman stops one guy from committing suicide. GODS DO NOT COMMIT SUICIDE. THEY MAKE OTHER PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDE AND THEN LAUGH AT THEIR EXPENSE! And finally, The Source is the omnipotent creator of everything in the new Gods Mythos, I'm not going to take it seriously looking like a glowing tennis ball and then being enslaved by it's own creation.

" @AtPhantom said:Yes, but it didn't happen in there. No, that's the cherry on top. The climax of this series didn't happen in the series itself, it happened in Countdown #3 and 2 (49 and 50 if you want to look at it normally)" @Morpheus_ said:Valid points.

" @AtPhantom said:It was a pretty cool fight scene between D, Jimmy Olsen (Just roll with it) and Orion showing off what Darkseid actually can do when he puts his mind to it. Not that it can atone the train wreck preceding it, but it was enjoyable. You can find the whole thing on KMC Darkseid Respect thread if you want."Yes, but it didn't happen in there.
