“New Krypton Part 2: Beyond Doomsday”

In "New Krypton Part 2: Beyond Doomsday," the fallout from Zod’s defeat sends former Kryptonian soldiers into Earth’s shadows, questioning why Superman stopped their general. With Luthor under General Lane’s orders to interrogate Brainiac, and Doomsday’s rampage escalating, Superman finds unexpected allies in Supergirl, her parents, and the Kandorians—leading to a brutal battle on the moon where the tide turns in a shocking, decisive moment. The issue’s dramatic climax sees Zod’s soldiers attempting to free their leader from the Phantom Zone, only to be intercepted by Nightwing and Flamebird. Penciled and inked by Pete Woods, with colors by Brad Anderson and letters by Rob Leigh, the story unfolds with intensity under Alex Ross’s striking cover.

Former soldiers of General Zod roam Earth and wonder why Superman stopped him. General Lane gives Luthor the task of extracting information from Brainiac, but makes it clear who is in charge. Doomsday continues his assault on Superman, but this time he has help from Supergirl, her parents, and the other Kryptonians from Kandor. They push the fight to the moon, where the Kandorians dogpile on Doomsday and beat him to death, with Superman and Supergirl looking on. Zod's soldiers go to the Fortress and decide to release Zod from the Phantom Zone, but are stopped by Nightwing and Flamebird.
