‘DC K.O.’ Welcomes Homelander From ‘The Boys’, Annabelle From ‘The Conjuring’ And More

The Boys Season 4 teaser trailer Homelander

This is not a joke. As announced on the New York Comic ConJim Lee & Friends” panel, DC Comics DC K.O. is getting wilder with contenders from outside the DC Universe. Specifically — again, not a joke — Homelander from The Boys and more.

And he’s not alone. Along with Homelander is Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, Annabelle from The Conjuring series, Red Sonja, Vampirella, and the kicker… Samantha, the bear from Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees at IDW are all in DC K.O. as part of a “bonus level.”

The currently running event written by Scott Snyder mashes up 32 heroes and villains fighting to the death to gain enough “Omega Energy” to take down Darkseid. However, the DC characters in the tournament realize they can bring in characters from other universes in order to get even more Omega Energy than is available in the main tournament — which is how Sub-Zero and Annabelle get in on the action.

That’s the long and short of the news — no date was offered for when this happens — but in a way it brings at least The Boys home, as the comic started at DC. Check out some art, shared by Snyder:

New challengers are approaching DC K.O. this February…
