DC K.O.’s brawl for all continues in December

Five series, a miniseries and four specials continue the knock down, drag out storyline.

DC K.O., DC’s big event series that will feature heroes and villains battling in a tournament for the honor of becoming “King Omega” and gaining the power to match Darkseid, will continue in December with a number of specials and tie-in issues in their regular titles.

DC previously announced the participants for the tournament, and December will bring a number of match-ups as the storyline progresses. Also, fights! Expect lots of brawling, according to Scott Snyder, the co-architect of the event (along with Joshua Williamson).

“When Josh and I were coming up with K.O., we realized that there’s a point in the story where this big tournament all the characters are taking part in would have an all-out brawl section,” said Snyder. “So the result of that is a whole month of slugfests fans have speculated about for decades. These are one-shot special issues that tie into the main story of DC K.O. and show the brutal face-offs between friends and foes alike. Some results will shock you, some may thrill you, but that’s what this event is all about. Knock down, drag out, brutal fun.”

The news was announced by her art agent, Scott Kress of Catskill Comics, on Facebook.

“Ramona was 97 and had a long career in the comic book industry and was still drawing just a few days ago. She was a remarkable person in so many ways. I will miss all the great conversations and laughs we had. I am blessed that I was able to work with her on a professional level, but also able to call her my friend,” the post reads.
