lol, it was a sitcom about a rock radio station that ran in the late '70s/early '80s. Not that I saw it live, but I did watch the hell out of it on reruns.
It's claim to fame is a Thanksgiving episode where they drop turkeys from a helicopter for a promo and it turns into an abject disaster.

You know, I like how the Khunds are being show as real tough guys who don't scare easily from a powerful kryptonian.

Ok Ursa casually snatching that guys head off only to lob it at the other shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as it did.

So the "trick" that Khund's used here.. On one hand it makes perfect sense that crazy sci-fi (or magical) beings in DC could do some crazy stuff and it shows how maybe Kryptonians aren't that big of a deal in grand scheme of things. On the other hand you then need to have some plot induced stupidity for story to continue, like Khunds somehow being unaware that there are Kryptonians on the planet or their soldiers not being informed how long the sun will stay red so that they wouldn't act like morons and play around with Zod.
I don't know, it is difficult balancing act and I'm not sure if Casey really pulled it off here.

Personally I loved how Casey straight up gave the Injustice motivation to Zod:
His pregnant wife is dead and now he’s going to snap and wage war on all of creation as a result. Glad someone realized “hey we already have an evil Superman in the main universe, why not give him the motivation we keep using to justify transforming Kal into Zod II?” I’m curious if Lor being separated from Zod is intended to give him the space to potentially soften in respect to how bad his dad is going to become, or if the two of them are going to equally descend into madness.

Some cool action, though I expected to see more direct personal fallout after Ursa's domination of Zod in the last issue. I did like the red sun trick.
I'm hoping she now joins Jor-El as a delusion to explore his descent into madness.
His last memory of Jor-El was trying to dissuade his coup and make him see reason, but the last memory of his wife is her saying he'd lost himself and calling for war.
It'd be really fun to see Zod being conflicted and ultimately reconcile who he will be going forward (a monster!).

"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
