Tomorrow sees the release of DC's K.O. #5. It's going to be a lot. We've already run a couple of spoilers about what it's looking like for Gotham afterwards, as well as Superman and the rest of the DC Universe once that's all done, and how everyone will be getting their new superpowers.

Okay, it's all on you now.

"There will be a Crisis Of ABSOLUTE Proportions." Just in case you didn't get it. Absolute Crisis. There's going to be no comic book store shelf wide enough for all the variant covers it's going to have…
