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.”

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.”
