NYCC: Homelander, Sub-Zero, Vampirella, Red Sonja, Annabelle, and Sam from Beneath The Trees appear in DC’s K.O
Article Summary
- Homelander, Sub-Zero, Vampirella, and Red Sonja join DC’s K.O. in a surprise, multiverse-spanning twist
- Scott Snyder reveals at NYCC that guests from other publishers and media will appear in DC’s K.O. event
- The tournament’s plot involves pocket universes and high-stakes training for a battle against Darkseid
- DC’s K.O. #1 and #2 promise epic action, hero battles, and dark transformations starting in late 2025
Scott Snyder has revealed at New York Comic Con that DC's K.O. Is going to be madder than expected, with guests characters from different publishers and different media. Including Homelander from The Boys, Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, Vampirella, Red Sonja, Annabelle from The Conjuring, and Sam from Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees. I'm going to say this. No one saw anything like this coming. This is beyond the likes of having Batman crossover with Dr Manhattan in Death Metal. This is true insanity… this is how it first played out…
And this is where it ended up. As the participants in DC's K.O. open up pocket universes to train in to prepare for the tournament in DC's K.O. #3 out in January 2026…
DC's K.O. is as metal as all hell right now…
- DC K.O. #1 (OF 5)
