Article Summary

DC's K.O. #1 launches a planet-wide superhero war to prepare for Darkseid's arrival in just seven days
Superheroes, governments, and big business unite to oversee Earth's mass evacuation and survival
Titans #28 picks up the race as the heroes split up to save humanity from the Apokoliptian threat
Evacuation sparks political complications and resistance, including an "evacuation truther" movement

DC K.O. #1 (OF 4) by Scott Snyder and Javier Fernandez is published by DC Comics tomorrow. In which the world's superheroes go to war across the planet, to imbue a champion with the Omega energies needed to take on Darkseid as a new King Omega. I know, I know, when you write it down…. but that will also need an evacuation of the Earth. And while the Titans series seems to be taking on most of that, out next week, it begins with the first issue of K.O. As they have seven days to prepare for the coming of Darkseid…

First, there's the politics of it all. The macro at least. With governments and big business getting in together with the superheroes.

And taking care of all the supervillains in the process. No wonder there's an "evacuation truther" movement growing in the DC Universe. Amanda Waller was right… DC K.O. #1 (OF 4) by Scott Snyder and Javier Fernandez is published by DC Comics tomorrow.
