DC K.O. #2 Review: Scott Snyder's Tournament Action, Popverse Insights, and Mixed Reader Reactions

In this review of DC K.O. #2, I discuss Scott Snyder's fast-paced storytelling and exciting fights in the King Omega tournament, where heroes reject a reboot like the New 52 to battle Darkseid's threat. Drawing from Popverse's article, Snyder emphasizes side stories over constant reboots, building confidence in DC's 80-year narrative without overhauls. I cover a 10/10 review from The Aspiring Kryptonian praising the Lex Luthor vs. Superman clash and Wonder Woman vs. Etrigan moment, alongside a 7/10 from Comic Book Revolution noting chaotic action but limited pull for December tie-ins like Superman vs. Captain Atom and Harley Quinn vs. Zatanna. While action-heavy books draw complaints for lacking backstory, this issue balances pacing well for an 8.5/10 story and 8.8/10 art—solid and engaging without being the best ever.
