Michael Shannon brought an intense fury to Superman villain General Zod in Man of Steel. Terence Stamp played it cool and cruel in Superman II.
This Fall Zod conquers DC Comics as part of Villains Month! This Kryptonian madman is a triple threat appearing in 3 big books!
Here’s what Editor Bob Harris says about the supervillain’s New 52 invasion:
“In his Villains Month one-shot, Zod’s origin will be revealed. Not only will you see the infamous Superman villain in his New 52 debut, but you’ll also see him at an early age on an abandoned island and fighting monsters following his parents’ death. It’s Jor-El who acts as Zod’s ticket off the island, and the brotherly alliance they form is something that will be explored. It’s also something that might be the catalyst of some of the friction between Jor-El and Zor-El …
Then, in this fall’s SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN, fans can look forward to Zod taking on the role of the series’ first major villain. As for Doomsday? There’s a connection there too, but I won’t say anything more about that just yet.
And just because it’s San Diego Comic Con weekend, here’s another treat for you. Zod will be popping up in the pages of the upcoming original graphic novel, SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, VOLUME 3. But why he’ll be coming after Kal from Krypton remains a mystery … for now.”
DC Comics shared the designs for General Zod by Kenneth Rocafort for his appearances in the New 52, as well as Ardian Syaf’s designs for SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, VOLUME 3.
Villains Month is September followed by the new Forever Evil series.
Superman/Wonder Woman kicks off in October.
