The end of everything begins here. The heroes of Earth enter a tournament forged by gods, where victory means survival, and corruption claims the soul. From Eisner Award–winning writer Scott Snyder and artist Javi Fernández comes the explosive event redefining the DC Universe.

The Heart of Apokolips has transformed Earth into a twisted battlefield as Darkseid prepares for resurrection. To stop him, the Justice League and their greatest allies must enter an impossible tournament—one that pits hero against hero and friend against friend.
Each victory brings the survivors closer to the Heart…but the closer they come, the more its dark power consumes them.
A fight for the fate of the universe. A test of every hero’s will. DC K.O. is the ultimate clash of power, sacrifice, and corruption.
