I don't think there's any comic where every panel has a full background. Sometimes y'all ask too much!

No I just ask that most of the panels don't take place in a weird foggy room.

I'm delighted that Darkseid has now become a badass who is whupping superheroes across the multiverse. 10 years ago he was a bit of joke, almost a jobber to Superman. A lot of those tales seemed to treat him like he was a petty schoolyard bully.

Not as strong as you'd expect.
He was never a joke, at least as I recall.

If he was a joke, he'd have been deposed in some 'Big Event'. He never was, despite all the force Earth had to offer. Highfather never asked, Orion never asked, Barda never asked. Whenever people have been on Apokolips, the main thought has generally been 'Get the gently caress off before we're killed'. Superman went there to fight Doomsday. Anarky of all people went there to talk with him(One of the weirder stories, part of a weirder set).

Since I've been out of comics a while, I'm sure you've got more info than me that shows him as being as bad as you say. But I don't recall it, even from what I get from places like here.

I think Darkseid filled the same massively-powerful threat (what's DC's equivalent of Marvel's Cosmic threats?) as Lex or the like did for mortal ones. You'll get a few awkward moments, but he's never presented as comical, or taken out by everyone in coloured tights.

Plus, he's got his signature move: chilling on your couch, and waiting for you to get home.

It was actually a Chuck Austen one-shot from 2004, entitled "A Day at the Office". Darkseid just pops in Metropolis looking for something and Superman whups him before lunch.

Chuck Austen ongoing series. At least a one shot is over in a month.

Loeb did good by Darkseid. Even after getting stuck onto the Source Wall by Superman in the Supergirl arc, he bribes Supes into pulling him off during the next arc, and he had Etrigan on a leash.

In the animated series Darkseid was an absolute evil and up there villain. Hell, he brainwashed Supes to lead his army on earth.

Falcon has the lower body of a midget and Sue has the face of a 10 year old which is very jarring with her body.

Holy poo poo Stokoe doing more Marvel stuff. Never thought I'd see that again.

And of course in one image he outdoes everything ever done with the "proper" Age of Ultron event.
