• Chapter Five: The King Omega · 34 pages

  In the final battle, a powered-up Superman battles Darkseid for the fate of the universe. Although Darkseid gains an early advantage, Superman travels back in time to the Big Bang to infuse the universe with both Alpha and Omega energy to defeat Darkseid.

Publisher’s description

THE FINAL BATTLE FOR THE HEART OF APOKOLIPS! In the melee that started with dozens of heroes and villains vying for their chance to win the ultimate power in the universe, now only one remains! But to truly be crowned the King Omega, you must battle more than the obstacles in your path... you must battle yourself. It’s the finale to end all finales as the one true champion is crowned, the fate of all that lives hangs in the balance, and a shocking decision will bring the DC Universe to the next level. We would type more, but honestly, anything else is a spoiler — so suit up, get ready, and leap into the final round!
