DC's New Crossover Breaks Away from Marvel's Civil War
DC Comics has introduced a new crossover, DC K.O., which initially seems to mirror Marvel's Civil War. However, this new storyline takes a distinct approach.
The DC Multiverse has entered a new era with the release of DC All-In #1 in 2024, featuring the Absolute line of titles and other notable DC comics. DC K.O. brings together heroes and villains from the prime Earth for a tournament, where the winner will gain the power to defeat Darkseid, who currently dominates the universe.
The story focuses on heroes fighting each other, with some villains and characters from outside the DC Multiverse joining the battle. This concept has raised concerns among readers, given Marvel's history with hero vs. hero comics, particularly Civil War.
Marvel has killed the hero vs. hero comic over the last twenty years, starting with Civil War.
Author's summary: DC's new crossover offers a fresh take.
