The final four issue of DC KO, which sees the introduction of Absolute Universe superheroes into the DC Universe, ends with a dramatic and humorous tone. Writers Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson cleverly subvert expectations by highlighting the absurdity of their own storytelling. The team “cheats” its way through battles, allowing for creative freedom to pull off unexpected twists.
The story takes a heroic turn when Superman shows incredible courage, but this only serves as an opportunity for Luthor to exploit it and gain the upper hand. This twist is reminiscent of Jean Grey’s selfless act in X-Men #137, where she sacrificed herself rather than become the Dark Phoenix. Snyder’s narrative nods to this iconic moment while still showcasing the unique characteristics of his characters.
The artwork by Javi Fernández and Alejandro Sánchez continues to impress with stunning action sequences that match the escalating stakes of the story. The finale will be a challenging task for this talented art team, but their performance so far has shown great promise. With DC KO’s trademark absurdity and heroic twists, fans are in for an exciting conclusion.
