Kneel Before Zod Series By Joe Casey And Dan McDaid Coming In 2024

[Vordan]

Announced at San Diego Comic Con 2023, Kneel before Zod unites the talents of writer (and surprise SDCC panelist) Joe Casey and artist Dan McDaid. The story appears to be set on Krypton, at a time before Jor and Lara-El detect its imminent destruction.

But this is not a time of peace for the great civilization. Krypton is at war; a violent invasion threatens the denizens of the planet, and its only hope may lie in the actions of its hardest and most brutal warriors. Warriors like Zod. Read more about the battle (plus what happened to Zod before it) in DC's official plot synopsis:

"General Zod has lost everything—his son, his wife, his empire—to an invading alien armada. Zod uses guerrilla tactics to destroy the invaders, while amassing the tools he’ll need to take his revenge on the family that put him in this position in the first place...the house of El."

Zod's reasons for hating Superman's birth family have varied across multiple iterations of Krypton's history. But this time, it looks like perhaps some of that hatred is warranted?

I’m thinking Popverse has this wrong, and this is New Krypton which has been destroyed, not old Krypton. Zod losing his wife and son intrigues me, are they actually dead or have they abandoned him, perhaps to go join the Phaelosians?
