DC's New Crossover Takes a Different Approach
DC's latest crossover, DC K.O., may seem similar to Marvel's Civil War at first glance, but it's actually a unique story that diverges from the typical hero vs. hero comic.
DC Comics has been thriving, with 2024's DC All-In #1 marking the beginning of a new era in the DC Multiverse. This era has introduced the Absolute line of titles and some of the best DC comics of the 21st century.
DC K.O. revolves around a tournament where heroes and villains from the prime Earth compete to gain the power to defeat Darkseid, who has control over the universe. While some readers may be hesitant due to the hero vs. hero aspect, it's worth noting that this story also involves villains and characters from outside the DC Multiverse.
Marvel has killed the hero vs. hero comic over the last twenty years, starting with Civil War.
This crossover is a refreshing change from the typical Marvel approach, and that's good news for readers. With DC K.O., the DC Multiverse is expanding in exciting ways.
