DC Just Proved Its New Crossover Won’t be Anything Like Marvel’s Civil War (& That's Good News)

DC's New Crossover Takes a Different Approach

DC Comics' new crossover, DC K.O., may seem similar to Marvel's Civil War, but it's actually a unique story. The 2024 release of DC All-In #1 marked the beginning of a new era in the DC Multiverse, introducing the Absolute line of titles and many notable comics.

The new story revolves around a tournament where heroes and villains from the prime Earth compete to gain power to defeat Darkseid, who has control over the universe. This setup has raised concerns among readers, given Marvel's history with hero vs. hero comics, starting with Civil War.

Marvel has killed the hero vs. hero comic over the last twenty years, starting with Civil War.

However, DC K.O. promises to be different, focusing on a tournament-style competition rather than a traditional hero vs. hero conflict. This approach has generated excitement among fans, especially considering DC Comics' current strong position.

Author's summary: DC K.O. brings a fresh take on hero conflicts.
