Not with the Nyctari, those who took Darkseid's passing as their opportunity to take Apokolips and New Genesis - but between themselves.
There's a prophesied child rooted in the same history as the Nyctari, whom some figure an intended vessel for Darkseid as he is now.
Desaad of Apokolips, with Metron's human pawn Maxwell Lord, has taken the child - Orion and Scott Free following.
( The setup's even. )

"When we set out to write this book, our goal was to conjure up the deep fright that you have as a kid, the kind that takes your breath away, makes your spine tingle... A primal fear. We thought of classic fairytales—the ones where you're lost in the woods, and something is out there that wants—no, needs—to devour you. And we thought... how could this be scarier? Well, what if it was rooted in reality? You'd be surprised by how many people over the years have scoured the country looking for children to consume... how many real Big Bad Wolves exist." -- Scott Snyder

As Tom DeFalco wrapped up his Fantastic Four run, he laid a few threads to rest, some with more...fanfare than others. Kristoff, for instance, realized he sucked and had no purpose (#410).
( 'You see, sometimes people [like Doctor Doom] tell you that you're going to take over for them. And then you don't! You just straight up don't!...And now you know what being a legacy [character] is all about!' )

Issue #1'd introduced four teens playing the subconscious VR game Nightmare Cemetery as something outside their daily lives - and then had one of them pulled deeper into it, trapped in a real-world coma, by something within the game.
Issue #2 opened on that kid Pik's family - his sister Birdie, his dad - processing real-world life without him.
" There's no way I can make the rent on my own. " groaned dad.
Birdie asked " Is that really what you're worried about? "
( He answered. )

"I think my best Halloween story is The Haunted Mask... It’s the only Goosebumps book inspired by something in real life. When my son, Matt, was real little, it was Halloween time and he was trying on a green, rubber Frankenstein mask in the living room. I’m watching him from the doorway and he pulled the mask down over his face and he couldn’t get it off. I’m watching him — he’s tugging and tugging. I thought, 'What a great idea for a story!' I should have helped him, right? I started making notes." -- R.L. Stine
