Superman, Supergirl, and Lois Lane rally the entire Super-Force for a Hail Mary attempt to restore order to the Kryptonite Kingdom, only to run headlong into Zod and Ursa, though not the version of Zod readers might expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis issue is a key chapter in the four-title Kingdom of Zod crossover running across Superman, Action Comics, Supergirl, and Superman Unlimited, with Eddy Barrows delivering sweeping, high-stakes art as the Super-Family's mission spirals into danger. Williamson keeps the tension mounting as the true nature of this new Zod threatens to upend everything the heroes think they know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristian Ward's variant cover brings his signature painterly, atmospheric style to the Kryptonite Kingdom setting, rendering the crossover's green-tinted stakes in bold, abstract color work that stands apart from the issue's standard covers. Printed on card stock for collector appeal, this variant is a strong pickup for Christian Ward fans, Kingdom of Zod completists, and Superman family readers. Secure this variant before it sells through.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43865479086170,"sku":"0726DC0137","price":5.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/3359\/4458\/files\/large-6654156.jpg?v=1787081994","url":"https:\/\/epic-panels-comics.com\/products\/superman-42-cover-d-christian-ward-variant-pre-order","provider":"Epic Panels Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
