Publisher Description. DC is leveling up the multiverse on February 4 with DC K.O.: Boss Battle #1, a high‑octane one‑shot from writer Jeremy Adams and artists Ronan Cliquet, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Kieran McKeown, Pablo M. Collar, and Hi-Fi. Arriving ahead of the explosive final phase of the DC K.O. event, this special issue throws DC’s greatest Super Heroes into a gauntlet of unexpected challengers from across comics, horror, fantasy, and gaming.
For the first time ever, DC Super Heroes will face off against icons including Sub-Zero (Netherrealm), Homelander, Red Sonja and Vampirella (Dynamite Entertainment), Samantha Strong (IDW Publishing), and even New Line Cinema’s Annabelle, the infamous horror doll. And in a surprise twist, DC today revealed that Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Archie Comics) will make a cameo appearance!
In DC K.O.: Boss Battle, the heroes of the DC Universe are running out of time, and don’t have enough Omega Energy to enter the final battles. To stop Darkseid’s escalating threat, they must enter a series of escalating boss fights across the multiverse, each more unpredictable than the last. Every encounter pushes them closer to the edge, and failing to level up means certain failure in the final DC K.O. contestant brackets!
DC K.O.: Boss Battle #1 arrives on February 4 at participating comic shops and digital retailers with a main cover by Jamal Campbell and card stock variant covers by Jeff Spokes, Darick Robertson (featuring Homelander), Patrick Horvath (featuring Samantha Strong), Frank Cho (featuring Vampirella, Red Sonja, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch), and Gleb Melnikov (AEW cameo variant). Jeff Spokes’ variant cover will be available as an OTO wraparound in both card stock and foil. DC K.O.: Boss Battle #1 will retail for $4.99 U.S. (main), $5.99 U.S. (card stock variants), and $7.99 U.S. (foil variant).
