SDCC: Superman's Mini Sun Brass Knuckles & Terrific Ten in DC's K.O.

SDCC: Superman's Mini Sun Brass Knuckles & The Terrific Ten in DC Comics' K.O event series launching in October.

Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson were on hand at the DC All-In: What's Next panel at San Diego Comic-Con today, to talk about the upcoming event series DC K.O., designed to line DC superheroes up to fight each other in a tournament of violence.

K.O stands for King Omega, the role that Darkseid has returned to life to take (did you see him in yesterday's Absolute Martian Manhunter?) and is becoming more powerful. To generate the kind of power needed to take him on, the heroes of the DC Universe must fight each other in a five-level tournament, with the winner taking on all the K.O. energy generated. The first named fighters are Captain Atom, Guy Gardner: Green Lantern, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, Zatanna, Lobo, Cyborg and Red Hood. Everyone can bring one item into the tournament and Superman brings brass knuckles with mini suns in them. I do hope he goes up against Red Hood with that.

Mark Waid will be writing a new team, The Terrific Ten, led by Mr. Terrific with its very own suicide side-mission during DC K.O… The Mark Waid and Chris Cantwell Flash tie-in story is called Impulse Control, as Bart undergoes his own Flashpoint-sttyle time travel trek to change things. Aquaman will be more powerful than ever and we get a Darkseid like we have never seen before… and we get a Knightfight K.O. mini-series by Joshua Williamson and… Dan Mora again??? With Batman up against Robins from the future who became the next Batman in their own worlds…
