Jump to: New 52 – Rebirth

New 52

With the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe’s continuity was reset. Almost all of General Zod’s history was wiped clean and his earlier appearances were no longer considered in continuity.

Zod was then reintroduced about halfway through the New 52 era. His first few appearances were confined to flashbacks from before the planet Krypton’s destruction. These explain who he is and detail the situation that led to him surviving the death of the planet. Then, he has a significant appearance across an entire story arc from the Superman/Wonder Woman (Reading Order) series. These issues essentially depict his reintroduction to the modern DC Universe.
