Who Will Win Each Bracket?

The bell may ring in October, but the bout has only begun. DC K.O. unfolds across five explosive monthly issues, each descending deeper into the cosmic tournament and the moral reckoning at its core. As the Heart of Apokolips pulses stronger, secrets will unravel, heroes will clash in shocking pairings, and the true cost of becoming King Omega will be revealed. With each round, the DC Universe gets closer to its breaking point-and victory may come at a price no hero is willing to pay.

The gloves are off, and it is on in “DC K.O. #1”!
