Superman #42: Kingdom Of Zod Part 8 Preview

 

When Kal-El vanished, Kara Zor-El took up the leadership of the House of El. But now, Superman has returned, and the world has drastically changed. His son, Jon, now calls himself Tomorrow Man. His childhood friend, Lana Lang, no longer wields superpowers. And while he’s saved the world, Presidente Eduardo Castilho’s beloved kingdom of El Caldero is no longer an economic powerhouse. 

 

Still, his old enemy Zod has returned. He holds Superman’s cousin and his younger self hostage. And now, Zod is younger, more ambitious, and armed with Ursa's knowledge of the future.

 

Can Kal-El and Kara Zor-El’s Super Force defend Earth against Zod and Ursa? And after repairing Darkseid’s damage to the present and future, can Superman find a way to preserve his homeworld?
