DC K.O. #5 Preview

 

After their battles at the Earth's core, the last round occurred on the surface. But it wasn't our champions' Earth. Instead, the final four combatants visited Darkseid's Absolute Universe and realized what living under his dominance would be like. 

While the return of a lost hero brightened the heroes lives, only one combatant survived the battle. Is he destined to wear the crown? And after Batman's battle with the Heart of Apokolips, will another hero make a surprising return to the tournament?

Here's all the info from DC Connect:
