DC KO — Justice League Unlimited #17 by Mark Waid, Clayton Henry

With Aquaman gaining more intergalactic vision as Emperor Aquaman, and Cyborgh integrating aspects of the Heart Of Omega into his own workings…

And Hawkman looks like he may be burning his wings in months to come…

While Captain Marvel, Shazam, The Captain, Billy Batson is having a harsher look at what he is capable of…

And yes, Superman is missing, Not that Lois Lane is worried.

She has been here before. A lot.

And it also seems that some of the villains have equally been affected, given a greater sense of perspective…

And more of a chance to, maybe, not be the bad guys…

Tar Pit is getting two chances, it seems. Flash has his own K.O. visions to deal with, a little more immediate than the others…

But if he gets a reputation for being able to see the immediate future and get there inj time, well, people be people…

Talking of which, Superboy Prime is out in the big world now.

And he has plans beyond the usual slaughter. He needs to do what he knows best.

I mean, they are letting anyone into the Justice League now, it shouldn't be too hard…

…because Darkseid is still coming.

And just as many folk have been affected by the events of K.O. people are preparing for it in different ways.

Being signed up as new members of the Justice League.

Or finding gainful employment.
