DC Comics launches ‘Kingdom of Zod’ event

The ‘Kingdom of Zod’ comic book event is unfolding across recent DC Comics issues, centering on General Zod’s takeover of a country and his attempt to reclaim his powers. In the narrative, Zod has unleashed the Eradicatrix, a powerful version of the Eradicator, to serve as his muscle and to seed the planet with a deadly kryptonite isotope.

Supergirl leads a group of underdog heroes known as the Super Force to combat Zod’s forces. Meanwhile, Superman returns to Earth accompanied by a younger version of himself, only to find the planet poisoned by kryptonite radiation. As the heroes struggle to survive the environmental threat and Zod’s military might, characters such as Lois Lane, Conner Kent, and Superboy Prime are caught in the escalating conflict.
