DC is pulling no punches this fall with DC K.O. , a massive new comic book event from powerhouse writers Joshua Williamson and Scott Snyder , kicking off in October. Picture a high-stakes cosmic tournament where heroes and villains are thrown into gladiator-style battles across a colossal, Earth-risen arena, each level more brutal and symbolic than the last. The goal? Generate enough Omega Energy to challenge a godlike Darkseid and crown a new King Omega .

Spanning five core issues with epic tie-ins across the DC Universe, DC K.O. pits 36 fighters against one another in a no-holds-barred bracket-style showdown. Expect legendary matchups, shocking underdog rises, and devastating consequences. Snyder takes the lead on the main series alongside artist Javi Fernández, while Williamson orchestrates the one-shots and tie-ins that ripple out across titles like Titans, The Flash, Superman, and Justice League Unlimited.

“This is the DCU’s ultimate fight night,” said Snyder. “You’re either in… or out.” Williamson added, “Darkseid has destroyed the future—the heroes’ only chance is to fight for the present.”

Les tie-in de cette mini-série :

  • Justice League: The Omega Act #1 (Oct. 1) – Written by Williamson with art by Yasmine Putri. Event prologue by Williamson & Yasmine Putri, as Time Trapper makes a desperate move to save the timeline.

  • Titans #28 (Oct. 15) – Written by John Layman with art and main cover by Pete Woods. The Titans lead Earth’s evacuation as Apokolips threatens to reshape the planet.

  • Superman #31 (Oct. 22) – Written by Williamson, with interiors by guest artist Eddy Barrows. Clark and allies hunt for the mysterious “Heart of Apokolips,” a force tied to his Kryptonian roots.

  • The Flash #26 (Oct. 22) – Written by Mark Waid and Christopher Cantwell with art by Vasco Georgiev. Impulse suggests a timeline-wiping reset called “Impulsepoint”—can Wally stop him in time?

  • Justice League Unlimited #12 (Oct. 22) – Written by Mark Waid with art by Dan Mora. Michael Holt and the Terrific Ten face a mission that could doom them at Earth’s core.

  • Darkseid evolves into King Omega, threatening the DC Universe after destroying its future timeline.
  • DC K.O. launches a tournament turning Earth into an Apokoliptian arena with five deadly levels.
  • Heroes and villains must battle each other to generate the energy needed to confront Darkseid.
  • The closer fighters get to the Heart of Apokolips, the more corrupted and dangerous they become.

Scott Snyder: "When the story starts, the heroes learn that not only has Darkseid evolved into something bigger and stronger than he’s ever been, but he’s coming over from the Absolute Universe to the DC Universe, and there’s no stopping him. He’s moving backwards through time from the future to the present. With the birth of the Absolute Universe, he’s absorbed so much omega energy that he’s become something beyond conception. He’s become the King Omega—« K.O. »

Joshua Williamson: « He’s destroyed the future. There’s no future for DC at this point because of what Darkseid has done. »

Scott Snyder: « He’s making his way back to the present, and there’s no way to stop him, but what the heroes learn is that the only way to confront this is to become what he is. How do you do that? They have to use this device called the Ark of Apokolips to change the Earth into an Apokoliptian tournament – an arena with five different levels, going to the core. »

Bon, il n en a pas fini avec ses snyderies.

Il est plutôt bon pourtant lorsqu il est moins ambitieux.
