DC K.O. #3 Preview

 

 

Superman has been here before: forced to fight to impress others. But the stakes were never so big. As he battled in a graveyard of the elder gods to reshape reality in his image, Clark Kent's objective was to ensure that Lex Luthor lost. Instead, Lex Luthor survived, while Clark's friends and fellow heroes died.

Before all this began, Bruce Wayne encouraged him to think outside the box. But now Batman is dead, and Superman lives to fight on. After two championship rounds, and individual battles to trim the field, eight combatants remain. As he prepares for the third round, what kind of King Omega will Clark fight to become? The President who oversees a nation, like Batman believes Clark can become? Or the fireman who rescues imperiled individuals from agony and death?
