. I recell them fighting but why was the infinity man trying to kill him anyways? I take it as IM realizing that gog was a god of the third world And not an agent of darkseid. Thus he left rather then killing a god that was never his intended purpose. His fight with Scott free was far more impressive then the little scuffle with gog. Gonna go with Im in both. Even ALE Scott free couldn't the guy down.

I agree.

^ I've thought about that before.

My thoughts: None of the New Gods were actually destroyed in the literal sense. Yes, their bodies may have been killed, but the energies they housed still existed (if you recall, Darkseid absorbed said energies to combat the Source.)

That said, because the Black Racer's energies still existed, perhaps the concept he embodied was still present on some level..? Or maybe it just wasn't something the writers thought about.

Or....Starlin is a ****ing moron who has no idea how to write the new gods.

DOTNG isn't canon anymore anyway. 😄

Based on what?

Final Crisis and Seven Soldiers.

Which part of Final Crisis or Seven Soldiers retcons it?

Orion being alive. And the fact that nobody in FC seems to recall DOTNG or reference it. In fact, they're puzzled by what's going on.

In FC? I recall him being dead on that one.


And the fact that nobody in FC seems to recall DOTNG or reference it.

?Wasn't Superman the only one to actually participate in DOTNG? Forgetting DOTNG and Count Down wasn't the only thing, they all talked like retards as if they've just heard of the new gods.


In fact, they're puzzled by what's going on.

Everyone was puzzled by the way the JLA and GL corps spouted nonesense as if the entire the continuity of the New Gods never existed until FC. Atleast with DOTNG, there was a war in heaven and Darkseid and Orion did die as a result. FC tied into DOTNG as best it could, not entirely retconning what happened.

Agreed. But Starlin's version of the war in heaven did not occur.

Countdown tied into FC as well.
