The Source is the being responsible killing off the New Gods, thru an agent (still unnamed, probably Infinity Man), mainly because it is displeased with how the New Gods have divided between good and evil, and also with New Genesis' persecution of the Bugs.The Source was split by the Old Gods (Zeus, Odin and one other) into a "yin" and "yang" - yin being the Source, this little orb Metron met at the end of #4, and yang being Anti-Life.....which eventually took the form of the Anti-Life Entity. The Source claims responsibility for the end of the Third World (aka Ragnarok: "There came a time when the Old Gods died..."😉 as "cosmic revenge," moreorless.
The Source's soultaker is killing the New Gods and collecting their essences into the new 2nd Source Wall, in preparation of "starting over" with a Fifth World (that prehistoric planet is the beginning of it).
And the Source has been manipulating basically all of Infinite Crisis (including the Monitors and the 52 Earths) in its endeavor to do away with the Fourth World and created a new Fifth World.
Metron's reaction to all this is quite literally: "ooh, can I watch?"
Oh, and Mantis and Kalibak are killed. Scott is convinced it's Orion, and snaps. And poor Superman's stuck in the middle.
😂 Can't wait to read it.
Spoiler:
Did the Source have Meton killed? I mean it sounds like it just explained the plan to one of it's intended victims.

The Source was behind Infinite Crisis. Damn.Darkseid was behind Countdown. Double damn.
The Anti-life entity is the dark side of the source and possibly the Anti-life equation personified. Triple damn.
........... I take back almost everything bad I said about Starlin. 😮

Only if you apologize for the ridiculous wanking of Thanos. 😉And you hate DC, so why do you care?
I love dc comics and have followed countdown and the death of the new gods closely. I like darkseid as well and am happy that Starlin is writing him back to form. I told you Starlin is the man but you didnt want to listen to me.
Originally posted by starlockThe source seems like a reasonable kickass sphere to me.
Will there be a long hiatus between the death of the new gods and the birth of the new new gods? anybody hear any news as to a schedule?I found the end of the latest issue amusing.... the fact that the source will let metron witness the end
I like how it told us that the new gods are weaker than their predecessors, it makes perfect sense.
