🚨 What is going on at DC?! DC K.O. might just become the craziest crossover ever, with Homelander, Sub-Zero, Vampirella, Red Sonja, & more... all training with your favorite DC heroes. 😱
So says @jimlee.bsky.social & @ssnyder1835.bsky.social!
See all the wild reveals:

‘DC K.O.’ might be the most bonkers crossover in comics history — if it’s real.

Jim Lee and Scott Snyder may have just broken reality with 'DC K.O.' news, and we're here for it.
