Team DC has unveiled the final variant cover artwork for DC K.O. #1 by superstar comic book artist Dan Mora, featuring portraits of all 32 fighters entering DC’s bracket-style tournament to determine who will be crowned King Omega. DC K.O. #1, written by Scott Snyder with art by Javi Fernández, will be available on October 8, 2025.
Mora’s cover features the full tournament lineup, as each character prepares to enter the five-level gladiatorial arena rising from Earth itself. This is the first time fans will see every fighter that will secure themselves a spot in the first round, offering a head-to-head glimpse at the potential matchups that will define the series. Whether you’re rooting for icons or underdogs, this cover is your first look at the chaos to come.
Written by Scott Snyder with art by Javi Fernández, DC K.O. is a no-holds-barred event series launching on October 8, 2025, as part of DC’s All In publishing initiative. The bracket tournament pits heroes against one another in escalating battles—each round unlocking new power, new consequences, and new revelations.
“You have to be merciless to win,” said Snyder. “And when you’re out, you’re out.”
“Each level is a new challenge,” added Joshua Williamson, co-architect of DC K.O. “And the tournament will reveal unexpected heroes—some you won’t believe will go really far in the fights.”
The Dan Mora cover will be available as a variant for DC K.O. #1, alongside the main cover by Javi Fernández and additional variants by top DC artists. Fans can expect bracket breakdowns, fighter spotlights, and early match-up teases in the weeks leading up to launch.
