Superman returns to The Kingdom Of Zod Crossover Event at DC Comics in August 2026<\/p>\n

Article Summary
\nDC Comics launches Kingdom Of Zod in August 2026, reviving a delayed Superman crossover seeded by Kneel Before Zod.
\nKingdom Of Zod spins out of Rise Of The Super Sons and links Supergirl, Action Comics, Superman Unlimited, and Superman.
\nSuperman returns in Action Comics #1101 as Zod exploits Earth\u2019s Kryptonite boom to fuel a major invasion twist.
\nThe Kingdom Of Zod finale arrives in September with a Superman special and a final Superfamily showdown with Zod. <\/p>\n

Back in 2024, Bleeding Cool<\/a> reported that DC Comics<\/a>\u00a0told retailers the twelve-issue\u00a0Kneel Before Zod\u00a0by\u00a0Joe Casey\u00a0and\u00a0Dan McDaid would kick off a major Superman event in 2025 with its twelfth and final issue. But that it really starts with issue three, with the death of his wife, Ursa. That crossover did not happen, and the series was cut short. But in 2026, it seems it is finally getting its juice back, with a new Superman event launching in August and running through September. And possibly teased in July with Action Comics #1100 and the Superman Annual<\/a>. Kingdom of Zod, to follow the current Rise Of The Super Sons event with Supergirl, Action Comics, Superman Unlimited, and Superman in a big Superfamily Vs Zod storyline. It will also directly involve the Superman Unlimited series, which has seen Kryptonite become far more prevalent on Earth, with entire industries and economies built around it, and how General Zod uses that to his advantage for invasion, with a major Kryptonite twist\u2026<\/p>\n
