After reading Issue 4 of Death of the New Gods, I have two predictions/points of speculation/whatever word you want to use.
The first may be a bit of a “duh” moment to most of you, but it just hit me - the souls of the New Gods that are supposed to be going to the Source are going to Jimmy Olsen instead, which is why he keeps exhibiting all of these strange powers. This explains the “Jimmy Olsen must die” tagline - Jimmy must die in order for the souls to be released and return to the Source Wall.
Which leads me to my next point of speculation, on the identity of the killer of the New Gods- some future version of Scott Free. Hear me out on this one. Say that at some point in the future, most likely Final Crisis, Scott finds out that the Source and/or the Source Wall is depleted and the only way to restore and/or patch it is through the sacrifice of the New Gods, whose souls would go back to the Source and thus replenish it. The problem is that it would have had to have been done months ago, so Scott uses his mastery of the Anti-Life equation to go back in time to save the Source and/or the Multiverse. This would explain Metron’s horror at finding out who the killer is, the Forever People’s assertion that it was the “most unexpected visitor of all”, and their refusal to succumb to Scott Free and the Anti-Life Equation, since the only thing that could resist the Anti-Life Equation is - in theory - the Anti-Life Equation.
That’s what I think, at least; only time will tell whether or not I’m right
What do y’all think?
