DC Comics is putting its heroes in a Mortal Kombat-esque tournament starting fall 2026. The publisher announced Wednesday that a new \u201cslugfest event of the century\u201d kicks off in October with the five-issue limited series <em>DC K.O.<\/em> Co-created by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/559501\/superman-summer-special-dc-comics-waid-williamson-slott\">Joshua Williamson<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/462801\/batman-absolute-joker-reboot-scott-snyder-interview\">Scott Snyder<\/a>, <em>DC K.O.<\/em> pits 36 heroes a tournament with the fate of the universe on the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201c<em>DC K.O.<\/em> is a knock-down, drag-out fight between all your favorite DC Super Heroes in a cosmic tournament to save the universe from Darkseid,\u201d said Snyder in a news release. Snyder will be writing the main series, with art by Javi Fern\u00e1ndez. Snyder is no stranger to big-time DC events; he wrote <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/2018\/3\/29\/17173956\/dark-nights-metal-6-epilogue-batman-secrets-easter-eggs\">Dark Knights: Metal<\/a><\/em> and its sequel, and is currently penning <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/504039\/absolute-batman-superman-wonder-woman-review\">Absolute Batman<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/superman-and-the-dc-heroes-will-duke-it-out-in-their-own-mortal-kombat-this-fall-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Based on the main cover for <em>DC K.O.<\/em> #1, Superman, Firestorm, Plastic Man, Power Girl, Vixen, and Black Lightning are all joining the fray. They, and many more DC superheroes, will be will be fighting in a \u201cuniverse-shaking five-level gladiatorial arena [that] emerges from the Earth itself, each descending level testing the heroes in brutal and symbolic ways. The goal? Generate enough Omega Energy to rival Darkseid\u2014and crown a new King Omega,\u201d according to the press release. Williamson promises \u201cunexpected heroes\u2014some you won\u2019t believe will go really far in the fights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Darkseid, ruler of the planet Apokolips, is a classic DC villain and often clashes with Superman. It\u2019s fitting he\u2019s at the center of <em>DC K.O.<\/em> as Williamson states <em>K.O.<\/em> is very much a \u201cSuperman story.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a very personal story wrapped in nine layers of candy exploding in your face,\u201d as Snyder put it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The 48-page <em>DC K.O.<\/em> #1 goes on sale Oct. 8 and the series will continue into early 2026. It\u2019ll be preceded by the one-shot <em>Justice League: The Omega Act<\/em> #1 a week earlier, which will lead in to the main event. Some DC series, like Williamson\u2019s <em>Superman<\/em> #31, will tie in to <em>DC K.O.<\/em>, because it ain\u2019t a comics event if there aren\u2019t line-wide tie-ins. Here\u2019s a quick look at the variant covers and crossover issues coming down the pike:<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-image-slider alignnone wp-block-vox-media-image-slider\">\n<div
