Last month at New York Comic Con’s “Jim Lee and Friends” panel, DC teased fans about what they can expect from DC KO, the current mega-event series that pits heroes against heroes. Arguably the most exciting announcement was that the event would open up to a wider multiverse, with characters from other publishers and franchises set to appear, including Homelander, Vampirella, and Red Sonja. The exact details of how these crossovers will occur were not revealed at the panel. Today, the publisher announced that it is soliciting information on previous one-shots related to the DC KO event.
The one-shot, titled “DC KO: Boss Battle,” comes courtesy of writer Jeremy Adams’ creative team and various artists, including Ronan Cricket and Carmine Di Giandonico. The one-shot will be available in comic stores on February 4, 2026.
Stay tuned until the cover is released. In the meantime, check out the teaser art by Jeff Spokes that appears during the panel available as a wraparound cover.
