DC K.O. Superman

The Man of Steel enters the ring. The fate of Krypton—and the universe—hangs in the balance, in DC K.O. Superman!

Expanding the DC K.O. blockbuster saga from the heart of the storm, Superman’s battle becomes the measure of hope itself. As the Heart of Apokolips corrupts reality and gods fall to its power, the last son of Krypton stands at the crossroads of creation—where every strike could save the multiverse or shatter it forever.

Can the Man of Steel and two unexpected allies learn what happened to the real Legion of Super-Heroes in time to secure Earth’s future? And who will protect present-day Earth when Superman enters the tournament to become King Omega?

From the bestselling team of writer Joshua Williamson (The Flash, Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths) and artists Dan Mora (Batman/Superman: World’s Finest, Justice League Unlimited) and Eddy Barrows, DC K.O.: Superman reveals a pivotal chapter in DC's All In saga —where power, destiny, and sacrifice collide at the speed of a god.
