After DC’s brawling DC K.O. comic book event series concludes on March 4, 2026, Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson are helping to take DC ALL IN to the NEXT LEVEL, beginning a second act of the publishing initiative that began with the DC ALL IN SPECIAL and the launch of DC’s ABSOLUTE universe.

“Josh and I are excited to enter the second phase of DC ALL IN with NEXT LEVEL,” said Snyder. “From the launch of the DC ALL IN SPECIAL, to the introduction of an Absolute universe, and into the DC K.O. event that we’re right in the middle of now, we’re determined to build on all of the fan enthusiasm, and the retail support and story momentum, by continuing to take big swings in 2026.”

“I’m incredibly excited to be involved in this new initiative designed to super-charge DC’s main line,” continued Williamson. “Much like how the Absolute Universe provided a new burst of creative energy with a series of unexpected new series, DC: NEXT LEVEL aims to deliver similar excitement.”

Which brings Snyder and Williamson to DC: NEXT LEVEL: a series of bold, creator-forward #1s, starring fan-favorite characters, and helmed by some of the best talent in comics. These new NEXT LEVEL titles will launch alongside bold new storylines in DC’s ongoing and limited series as DC ALL IN begins its second act.

NEXT LEVEL IS LOBO’S ONLY LEVEL WITH SKOTTIE YOUNG AND JORGE CORONA RIDING SHOTGUN!

The Eisner-nominated creative team that brought you a fantastic parable of adolescence in the Midwest, the story of an artist who embraces darkness a little too closely, and the tale of a gunslinger with too much grit to stay buried, brings you a classic yarn spun in the star-kissed threads of the cosmic DC Universe.

Vrrrrroooooommmmmmmm! The Main Man’s back, baby! And his ride is a motorcycle that moves at the speed of sound, but only if that sound is a rippin’ guitar solo, and you better hop on before he leaves you in the dust with all the bastiches he’s fragged for money or convenience!

It’s a guts-soaked path from DC K.O. to the end of the universe, where Lobo is going to scratch his name and number in the Source Wall with a cool knife. Don’t miss the mayhem, special guests, or tasty, tasty continuity! Don’t you do it!
