Warning: contains spoilers for Shazam #19!

Shazam just gifted its gods a massive change, paving the way for a member of his family to take center stage. Freddy Freeman is an integral member of the Shazam Family, but in recent months, long-standing issues between him and Billy have come to the surface. Matters come to a head in Shazam #19, establishing a bold new status quo for Freddy, one that will make him a great hero.

Shazam #19 is written by Josie Campbell and drawn by Dan McDaid. Freddy has taken a new source of power: the Amber Lightning. Forged by the god Hephaestus and a band of “misfit” gods, the Amber Lightning was given to the wizard Shazam for safekeeping on the Rock of Eternity. It lay dormant for thousands of years until Freddy found it, and has been drawing his power from it since. Freddy’s current struggle with Mister Mind...

Warning: contains spoilers for Shazam #18!

After 80 years, one of DC’s most underrated villain teams stands on the cusp of their ultimate victory. The Monster Society of Evil, in all its incarnations, has been a menace to Shazam and his allies, who have kept them at bay for years. In Shazam #18, the latest version of the Monster Society has seemingly clinched a brutal victory over the Shazam Family.

Shazam #18 is written by Josie Campbell and drawn by Dan McDaid. Georgia Sivana, the leader of the new Monster Society of Evil, is ready to succeed where her father failed: in destroying the Shazam Family once and for all. Freedy Freeman, now calling himself the “Commander,” has been corrupted by Mister Mind, and is leading the assault. He severely beats the Captain and Georgia draws Mary to the moon, where she begins suffocating. On Earth, an army of upgraded Mister Atoms reign...

Warning: contains spoilers for Shazam #18!

Shazam’s connection to Billy Batson just got a major makeover in DC Comics. The publisher’s most recent Shazam title has been a long meditation on the relationship between Billy and Shazam, or “the Captain” as he prefers to be called now. This relationship has had its ups and downs throughout the series, but in Shazam #18, Billy makes a stunning confession to the Captain.

Currently, the only members of the Shazam Family with powers are Billy, Mary and Freddy. Darla, Eugene and Pedro are sitting this one out.

Shazam #18 is written by Jose Campbell and drawn by Dan McDaid. The Monster Society of Evil, led by Georgia Sivana, have launched an all-out, multipronged assault on the Shazam Family. Among their numbers is Freddy Freeman, corrupted and now calling himself “the Commander.” The Commander and the Captain fight, and Freddy manages to pummel his opponent well.

Actor Michael Shannon brought a menacing gravitas to the Kryptonian General Dru-Zod in 2013's Man of Steel, cementing himself as one of the more memorable villains in the DC Extended Universe. Now, years later, Shannon, Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and most of the other Dceu stars are being replaced with new iterations. This is the result of James Gunn and Peter Safran taking the reins at DC Studios and establishing a new DC Universe, which kicks off next year with Gunn's Superman. Though he is not slated to appear in that film, Zod's recasting is inevitable as one of the most iconic Superman antagonists.

For his part, Shannon isn't particularly upset. In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, the star unpacked his mindset behind making Man of Steel as well as any advice he may have for the next General Zod. Of his approach to playing the villain,...

Warning: Spoilers for Shazam #20The controversial age-up of Superman's son, Jon Kent, has been a source of controversy for DC for the past five years, with fans clamoring for him to be restored to childhood.

As part of DC Comics' February solicitations, a synopsis for Shazam! #20 by Sina Grace and Dan McDaid has just been released, and this issue will feature an unexpected crossover with none other than Jon Kent's Superman.

Warning: Spoilers for Shazam #16!Shazam fans assemble! The Captain's best villain is back in the comics and isn't playing around. Mister Mind has long been trying to dismantle the DC Universe, starting with the Shazam family, and though he's little, he's proved to be one of the Captain's most formidable foes. After his post-credits appearance in the Shazam! film, he never had a satisfying return for comic fans - until now.

In Shazam! #16 by Josie Campbell, Dan McDaid, Roberto Poggi, Trish Mulvihill, and Troy Peteri, Freddy Freeman is acting a little strangely. He's taken to calling himself the Commander, saying it outranks Billy Batson's nickname, the Captain. The truth, however, is even stranger, as a peculiar man starts to take Freddy under his wing. The issue ends with a massive reveal: the man's body is being controlled by the bug-mastermind Mister Mind himself.

Warning: Spoilers for Shazam #16!An early ally of DC Comics hero Shazam, known as Captain Marvel Jr., was depicted in rock legend Elvis' biopic as being an influence on the future star and now the character has made a triumphant return, taking on a new persona for a new era, "the Commander", reflecting Shazam's evolution into "the Captain."

Shazam #16 written by Josie Campbell, with art by Dan McDaid introduces the hero's latest codename, settling decades of dispute over the character's name by officially dubbing him the Commander, in a move that will hopefully inaugurate a new era Elvis' underappreciated favorite.

Many people might not realize that Elvis Presley, who helped make rock 'n' roll a household staple in America between the 1950s and '70s, was a comic book fan and collector and he had a particular affinity for the hero known as "Captain Marvel Jr." at the time.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Kneel Before Zod #8!I can't tell you how bummed out I am that one of DC Comics' greatest hidden gems, Kneel Before Zod, has ended. Month by month, I turned out to see what Superman's nemesis was up to as he embarked on one of the most violent crusades of his life.

But eight issues into its run, Kneel Before Zod has reached an end just as it was really getting good. Now, I'm used to comics wrapping up early, but this was a major disappointment because all year I've thought that this was DC's most underrated comic. I'd hate for it to go out with a whimper, so I've got one suggestion to help elevate this amazing and tragic series.

Kneel Before Zod #7 reintroduces the ancient Green Lantern, Ekron, who regains his eye and its full power a moment that could have significant repercussions for the DC Universe at some point in the future. Ekron and its Eye have a complicated history in the DC Universe, one that leaves a great deal to be explored by future writers. The unaccounted thousand-year span of Ekron's full power, now that the massively powerful creation of the Guardians of the Universe has regained its full powers, can be explored in greater detail in upcoming storylines by ambitious DC writers.

Warning: Spoilers for Kneel Before Zod (2024) #7 ahead!While the Guardians of Oa certainly have their faults, it is indisputable that their Green Lanterns have produced some of the most powerful figures in the DC Universe.

Recently, DC has begun exploring where that brutal history came from with a look into Zod's childhood, and this story reveals exactly how Zod became one of Superman's most brutal villains and how his parenting might shape his son into a similar villain.

General Zod faces a dark future after the tragic demise of his love, setting up a new chapter in his villainous story. Zod's reckless decision to jettison the Bottle City of Kandor into space hints at a bleak fate for the last survivors of Krypton. The contrast between Superman and Zod's treatment of Kandor showcases the latter's irresponsibility and selfish nature, setting the stage for a potential cosmic horror in the DC Universe.

Warning! Contains a preview for Kneel Before Zod #4!

Joe Casey and Dan McDaid's Kneel Before Zod has become a fan-favorite DC series as it has documented the story of General Zod, one of Superman's greatest enemies.

General Zod is one of Superman's most powerful and dangerous enemies, but now the General is facing off against a weapon even more dangerous than the Man of Steel. While Zod tries to deal with a murderous mutiny aboard his ship, he's suddenly attacked by a major DC artifact.

Recently, Zod was gifted his own planet of New Krypton by the United Planets, but having his own home hasn't been working out for him. He's been having problems with both his son and his wife, and the Khunds just brutally invaded his planet. Now, Zod is out for revenge,...

Khunds introduce potent anti-Kryptonian "chem-eclipse device," turning the yellow sun into a red one. Just a few missiles depower Kryptonians like Zod and Ursa, instantly shifting the balance of power. Red sunlight emerges as Superman's true vulnerability, surpassing kryptonite and magic.

There's no doubt that one of Superman's biggest weaknesses has always been kryptonite, but one alien race just showed a far easier way to deal with Kryptonians. While invading General Zod's planet, the Khunds show that they don't need kryptonite to take down Kryptonians, and if Superman's enemies ever learn about their special device, the Man of Steel will be in serious trouble.

Having a planet in the far reaches of space often makes it a ripe target for being raided, as the Kryptonian Zod family found out when the Khunds attacked their home. The Khunds are strong, but not nearly as powerful as Kryptonians,...

General Zod faces inner turmoil and a potential external power struggle, as teased in solicitations for Kneel Before Zod #5.

If You Find This, I'm Already Dead #1 has the creative team of Matt Kindt, Dan McDaid, Bill Crabtree, and Jim Campbell. The series will feature covers from Brian Hurtt, Sumeyye Kesgin, and Alice Darrow.

General Zod is facing challenges in his quest to revive the Kryptonian race, and his lack of ambition for war is causing his wife Ursa to take charge. Ursa's leadership may rekindle Zod's thirst for war and help him regain his former military legend status. The dynamic between Zod and Ursa as conquerors and leaders may either strengthen their goals or lead to destruction.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Kneel Before Zod #2!For the first time in DC history, one of Superman’s infamous movie villains is getting a serious upgrade. General Zod may be determined to bring back the Kryptonian race, but the pressure could be too much for him to handle. Instead, the responsibility of leading the new Kryptonian society might be falling to an underrated antagonist.

In Kneel Before Zod #2 by Joe Casey and Dan McDaid, General Zod and his wife Ursa interrogate one of the Khunds that invaded New Kandor.

Superman's heat vision can be incredibly destructive, capable of burning through entire planets and even cooking someone's brain from the inside out. Although Superman possesses this power, he never uses it in a cruel or torturous manner, demonstrating his commitment to his values and refusal to cross ethical boundaries. The fact that General Zod and Ursa utilize heat vision for gruesome torture highlights the extent to which Superman restrains his powers and demonstrates his superior moral character.

Warning! Preview pages ahead for Kneel Before Zod #2!One of Superman's most famous powers has a far more gruesome application than fans may have thought. The Man of Steel's Kryptonian nemeses General Zod and Ursa are attempting to resurrect Krypton and nothing is going to stand in their way. When an invader threatens their work, Ursa reveals a torture the Man of Steel would never attempt.

In a preview for Kneel Before Zod...

Zod's family is a twisted reflection of Superman's family, lacking love and built on blind obedience. Zod's relationship with his son is bleak, lacking respect and understanding, unlike Clark and Jon's loving dynamic. Zod's banishment of Lor-Zod reflects his lack of love and inability to change, unlike Clark who regretted letting Jon leave.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Kneel Before Zod #1!It's not just Superman that has a dark opposite, but his entire family as well. The Man of Steel's notorious Kryptonian enemy General Zod is embarking on a new mission to resurrect Krypton by any means necessary.

Superman's long-forgotten child, Lor-Zod, may be returning in a sad way as General Zod sees a glimpse of who Lor-Zod once was before DC's continuity resets. Lor-Zod disobeys Zod and believes his father is growing soft, leading to a heated confrontation between them. While Lor-Zod is currently a villain, there is a possibility for him to become a hero again, just like his adoptive father, Superman.

Superman first and long forgotten child may be making his return in a truly sad way. Chris Kent debuted long before the New 52 reboot, and before he was adopted by Lois and Clark, he was known as Lor-Zod, the child of Superman's nemesis. Now, as General Zod moves forward with his plans on New Krypton, a heated exchange with his own son — a newer version of Lor — gives him a flash of whom Lor-Zod once was and whom he might become again.

General Zod's new ultimate weapon, made of Sunstone, sets him up for a critical role in the future of the DC Universe, as a major antagonist once more. Zod's knowledge of Kryptonian technology, particularly Sunstone, makes him extremely dangerous to Superman and other Kryptonians, as well as the rest of the galaxy. The versatility of Sunstone leaves the purpose of Zod's ultimate weapon unclear, but it could be used to remove the powers of Superman or even destroy planets.

Warning! Contains Spoilers For Kneel Before Zod #1!General Zod recently came to rule his own planet, and as he often does, he's begun using it to raise an army. What's more, he's started building an ultimate weapon, one made out of the same material as Superman's iconic Fortress of Solitude. While it's unclear precisely what Zod's plans are, it's not unwise to assume that the Kryptonian might have his eyes set on galactic domination.

Kneel Before Zod #1 gives General Zod a chance to shine and offers insights into his character, making him a more compelling villain. The issue sets up a heavier story that explores Zod's motivations, his relationships with his son and wife, and the pressures he faces from the United Planets. Fans of Superman and Zod won't want to miss this comic, as it promises to be the best story yet for the iconic villain.

Some might assume that General Zod sees Superman as his biggest enemy due to their fighting over the years, but that's not actually true. While Zod dislikes Superman, his hatred for Superman is due to Superman's father, Jor-El, whose defeat of Zod haunts him to this very day. Now, fans have found out how deep that hatred goes.

Superman's new adventure requires the help of dark magical heroes, including John Constantine, Etrigan, and Bloodwynd. The team-up between Superman and these dark heroes is unlike anything he has experienced before. Their mission is to save Superman's family from a traitor in the Multiverse. Superman's optimistic nature might impact the darker heroes, but their magical abilities pose a significant threat to him, as magic is one of his weaknesses.

Superman is going on a new adventure, and his new teammates are far more used to the darkness than anything else. As Superman travels through the multiverse he'll need the help of John Constantine, Etrigan the Demon, and Hell's very own Superman, Bloodwynd.

This surprising team-up will take place in Action Comics #1060 this December. While Superman has been in the Justice League for a long time, he rarely interacts with members of Justice League Dark.

A new solo-series from DC Comics focusing on Superman's Kryptonian rival General Zod will draw influence from Michael Shannon's portrayal of the character from the Snyderverse. With legendary Superman writer Joe Casey at the helm, the latest portrayal of Clark Kent's Kryptonian nemesis will draw inspiration from beyond his comic book appearances.

Kneel Before Zod – the upcoming story from Casey and artist Dan McDaid – takes inspiration from the character's depiction in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel.

Speaking with Comic Book Resources, Joe Case explained that what drew him to making Shannon's Zod his muse for the comic was how "clear cut" and "laser focused" he was when portraying the role.

One amazing piece of fanart has united Superman with The Muppet Show's Kermit the Frog. The two childhood icons come together in a work that will absolutely tug at the heartstrings of any fan.

Superman is one of the most well-known icons of literature, but even his popularity is nothing compared to one particularly beloved puppet. For decades, Kermit the Frog has been one of the most popular children's entertainment characters thanks to his consistent presence in the Muppets' various adventures. The crew's de facto leader is generally presented as a charming, caring everyman who loves hanging with his pals and playing the banjo. Kermit might not be as wacky as Gonzo or have the groan-inducing puns of Fozzy Bear, but his strong spirit and determination is what keeps the Muppets together.
