Create your own brackets for DC’s upcoming ‘DC K.O.’ crossover

Superman, Wonder Woman, Lobo or … Plastic Man? Make your picks on who will win the big tournament to become King Omega.

It may not be March, but if you like creating your own tournament brackets, then DC has you covered — they’ve launched a website that’ll let you pick the winners and losers in their upcoming “fight club” crossover comic DC K.O.

Thus far DC has told us that DC K.O. will involve heroes and villains battling it out, tournament style, for the right to become “King Omega” and gain enough power to take on a supped up Darkseid. They’ve revealed the 32 characters participating, and they showed us several of the issues coming in December where the big battles will go down. But until now they’ve been coy about who will fight who, so this new site gives us the first look at all the match-ups.

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.”

Let’s you and him fight: DC reveals all the ‘DC K.O.’ tournament participants

Dan Mora’s variant cover for the first issue of the event series reveals both expected and surprising entrants.

DC has revealed all the participants in the DC K.O. tournament, a big storyline that begins this fall and finds DC’s heroes (and some villains) competing for the honor of becoming King Omega.

Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson are tag-teaming on the storyline, with Snyder writing the main event and Williamson working on the undercard in titles like Superman and Knightfight. Snyder will be joined by Javi Fernandez on the main miniseries, while Dan Mora did the tournament bracket cover that reveals who is all in for the fight:

Slugfest | Gabriel Hardman puts a modern twist on 1980s thrillers in DC’s November solicitations

Plus: DC’s plans for the penultimate month of 2025 include a new Harley & Ivy series, a holiday special and a whole lot of DC K.O.

Slugfest is a roundup of cool announcements about projects coming to a shelf near you. This edition focuses on DC’s November 2025 solicitations. Hit the links for more information.

Fans of DC’s street-level thrillers from the 1980s, like Denny O’Neil and Denys Cowan’s The Question and Mike Grell’s Green Arrow will be happy to know that Gabriel Hardman (Invisible Republic, Green Lantern: Earth One) is bringing that same kind of storytelling to Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia.

The four-issue Black Label series will feature Hardman as writer and artist, with colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr. and lettering by Simon Bowland.

“I’ve wanted to tell a story about Batman, Green Arrow and the Question since I was 14 years old, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally get the chance,” said Hardman. “While I’m taking inspiration from the great work of Denny O’Neil, Denys Cowan and Mike Grell, this series isn’t an exercise in nostalgia. I’m taking the grounded approach they spearheaded in the late 80s and moving forward, having these three difficult, opinionated personalities confront a contemporary brand of criminality on a global scale.”

Scott Snyder, Joshua Williamson + more pit hero against hero in ‘DC K.O.’

The DC All In event series will see heroes battling in a tournament for the honor of becoming King Omega.

Now here’s something we can get behind — DC has announced DC K.O., a new event series that features DC heroes in a smash’em up brawl-for-all style tournament, with enough power to rival Darkseid as the prize.

Scott Snyder will write the five-issue series, joined by artist Javi Fernandez. Joshua Williamson, meanwhile, will serve as Snyder’s tag-team partner and write several of the tie-in titles, including a prologue called Justice League: The Omega Act.

“DC K.O. is a knock-down, drag-out fight between all your favorite DC Super Heroes in a cosmic tournament to save the universe from Darkseid,” said Snyder. “Darkseid has evolved into something bigger and stronger than ever.”

“He’s destroyed the future,” added Williamson. “There’s no future for the DC Universe because of what he’s done—the heroes’ only shot is to stop him in the present.”
