The Future Of Superman, Superboy Prime, Lex Luthor, Connor Kent and Jon Kent at DC Comics revealed today with Kingdom of Zod teases<\/p>\n

Article Summary
\nSuperman: Kingdom of Zod Special reshapes the future of Superman at DC Comics with major resets, returns, and time-travel fallout.
\nJon Kent\u2019s future as Tomorrow Man is teased, setting up Superman Unlimited and a new father-and-son era in Metropolis.
\nSuperboy Prime steps away, Connor Kent faces the aftermath, and Lex Luthor\u2019s past and present plans drive new Superman threats.
\nDC teases the future of Superman with Brainiac, a Black Lantern ring, Legions, Ursa, and a looming House… <\/p>\n

Today sees the publication of Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special<\/a> #1<\/a> by Joshua Williamson, Mark Waid, Dan Slott, Sophie Campbell, Paolo Villanelli, Bruno Frenda, and David Messina, which ends the event and sets up the future. And they had a lot to deal with, a dead General Zod who had built a Kryptonite country on Earth and used it to infect the world with a new form of Kryptonite, an Ursa back from the dead who killed Zod, then brought a young Zod back from Krypton’s past to rule in his stead, a young Clark Kent\/Superboy brought to the present, and Superman himself returning to Earth after trying to fix the future with a new Legion Of Super-Heroes but, thanks to Brainiac, creating a new future without a Legion at all. And Joshua Williamson, as is his want, is keen to tease the future. He’s done it before, he’ll do it again.<\/p>\n

Well, eventually, everyone who shouldn’t be here gets sent back to where they came from, thanks to Lena Luthor buildinga Wayback Machine for time travel, and hopefully not infected with A.I. from the future to rewrite the past so that Rob Liefeld didn’t write a column about a character from the future\u2026<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

As well as them remembering what they should and what they shouldn’t. Including the trauma\u2026<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

\u2026 one way or another. As Martian Manhunter has his own geocache of abilities\u2026<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

That’s a power that will never be misused, I am sure, right? So what about everyone else? All the superfolkks? And more time travellers?<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

Turns out the Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s future has already been written as Tomorrow Man, and he even keeps his secret identity\u2026 and Booster Gold’s recommendations eeerm to play out in upcoming issues of Superman Unlimited.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

But Superman and Lois Lane look like they’re in a better place regarding this fourth wall breaking anomoly\u2026<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

Superboy Prime is hanging up the cape for a bit, going back to work at Midtown Comics’ Metropolis branch it seems. While Supergirl has a new place to hangh her cape.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

And then of course there’s Lex Luthor, in the past, back in the Smallville Luthor farmstead?<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

\u2026and all grown up in the present, looking to claim his fatherhood of the Superclone.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

It seems like there’s also someone else back from the dead as well as Ursa, to deal with, as Lena looks at just what did go down with the Eradicatrix revival of Ursa.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

Oh you know who that will be then? From Kneel To Zod #4, when Ursa died\u2026<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Kneel To Zod #4 by Joe Casey and Dan McDaid<\/p>\n

It looks like when Ursa was revived from the dead\u2026 she was still pregnant with Zod’s child. So there is a Kryptronian birth to come. Maybe someone should tell Lor-Zod. And then there are glimpses from the future to discover in the classic Williamson style. Man, we could really use Booster Gold’s blackboard for this\u2026<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

We have a Black Lantern ring, that might be useful for bringing many folk back from the dead, not just two\u2026<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

We have Brainaic playing with his Legion Of Super-Heroes futures, each trapped in a different bottle\u2026<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

The Eradicatrix tech being used by Lena Luthor on another cosmic squiid of sorts, and then, oh yes.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1<\/p>\n

Looks like we have a House Of Zero upon us, under an eclipse\u2026 OH. Eclipso? More, much more still to be devined\u2026<\/p>\n

Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1 by Joshua Williamson, Mark Waid, Dan Slott, Sophie Campbell, Paolo Villanelli, Bruno Frenda, David Messina<\/a>
