What do you guys think of DCKO ?Everyone is saying it's a banger and making their own predictions
>>150762008What are your predictions?
It's going on until March, which feels a bit over long.I like the idea of it, but the first issue which has come out was way too exposition heavy. Though I guess that's necessary for an issue 1 of an event comic.I'm rooting for Aquaman.His whole storyline for his new All-In volume has been about him becoming a god. He became the champion of 'the blue' (whatever that means) and beat Superman in a fight.
>>150762022Joker has replaced Batman, so him and Red Hood are obviously going to win their match ups so that Red Hood can kill the Joker.Narrative-wise, which is the most important factor to consider with this fictional tournament, I think the main contenders for the final winner are Superman and Aquaman.
>>150762008Good idea, bad execution.
>>150762008>>150762022Okay but seriously do social media fans actually have an influence on sales?
>>150762046>'the blue'I haven't read Aquaman, but that sounds like it's a counterpart to "the green" from Swamp Thing which is the force behind all plant life. New 52 Animal Man also introduced "The Red" which represents animal life, and there was a crossover against the black or rot or something which was zombies.
>>150762210Awareness and free advertisement. But comic sales are surprisingly resistant to influence. Even the MCU at its peak didn't do much for comic sales.
>>150762211thats exactly what it is
The Absolute Trinity shown at the end of issue 1Probably not the current Abso Trinity featured in comics but corrupted "future" versions like the Abso LegionSuperman will be teased as the winner but Aquaman is the surprise victor. Ties into the Darkseid teases in his own book, the lack of Abso Aquaman, etc
Omega Forca already say there will be no winner as Darkseid in Golderbooster body will attack.
>>150762211>>150762374The blue is stupid because all life in the sea should already be covered by the red and green
>>150762008An absolute shit event that only deathbattlefags would love.
>>150762595its not marine life, its the elemental power of water
>>150762404>Ties into the Darkseid teases in his own bookMonths prior to DC KO even being announced one of his books read "Aquaman: The New Darkseid?" and the whole volume so far has had hints of Aquaman becoming this god killer. If these hints were present for a larger character, Superman, Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, the Flash, it would make sense as a red herring. But Aquaman is such a niche, somewhat humorous character, it makes a bit more sense as genuine foreshadowing.
>>150762664death battle fags and versus scaling retards will hate this event.Because this is fiction and so narrative trumps the logic of which character has been shown to be more powerful.The Joker is inevitably going to beat Star Sapphire, and Harley Quinn is probably going to stick around quite a while, because those are popular characters who will have interesting roles in the narrative. Not because they'd actually win those fights
>>150762022>>150762008This shit is retarded. I predict bullshit.
>>150762008Don't care
