And the man who killed Krypton himself, Rogol Zaar, has just arrived in the Phantom Zone, ready to unite these foes into an army...an army ready to strike at Earth at its most vulnerable! <p/>Legendary creators Brian Michael Bendis (<i>New Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man, Jessica Jones</i>) and Ivan Reis (<i>Justice League, Aquaman</i>) begin an incredible new era for the Man of Steel!
