Fantastic Forum is back with another week of conversation, breakdowns, and comics that redefine big DC Universe ideas. This episode we’re digging into DC K.O. and The New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1.

In DC K.O. writer Scott Snyder and artist Javi Fernández kick off an over-the-top tournament event where the Heart of Apokolips has twisted Earth into a gladiatorial arena in preparation for Darkseid’s return. The Justice League and dozens of heroes must fight through deadly brackets for the chance to stop the end of everything, all while the corrupting influence of Omega energy challenges not only strength but loyalty. It’s spectacle with teeth, built on big action and even bigger implications for the DC Universe.

New History Of The DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1 brings a pivotal historical thread into focus. Written by Joseph P. Illidge, Nikolas Draper-Ivey, Stephanie Williams, and Morgan Hampton with art by Edwin Galmon, Valentine De Landro, Carlo Pagulayan, and Fico Ossio, this issue explores a moment when tragedy ignites a conflict between the heroes of Dakota City and the U.S. government. It’s a reframing of Milestone history within the broader DC continuity, examining how narrative, community, and legacy intersect.

We’ve read the issues, sat with the implications, and now it’s time to break down what worked, what surprised us, and where these stories might lead next. Watch tonight at 6:30 pm PT and call in live at www.fantasticforum.live to share your thoughts. Fantastic Forum, assemble!
