The Fridging Of Kneel Before Zod #3 Revealed (Spoilers)

Last month, Bleeding Cool mentioned that the third issue of Kneel Before Zod by Joe Casey and Dan McDaid would kick off a major Superman event

Last month, Bleeding Cool mentioned that in the third issue of the twelve-issue Kneel Before Zod by Joe Casey and Dan McDaid from DC Comics, things would kick off that would begin a major Superman event in 2025.

Previously, General Zod in the Kneel Before Zod has been gathering the troops for New Krypton, as well as pissing off his son Lor-Zod, but Lor-Zod's mother and Zod's right-hand woman Ursa is not so convinced of his worthiness.

And so the second issue ended with her getting Zod to kneel before her.

We suggested that might mean a change in title for the third issue, but we were wrong. So very wrong. Because as Bleeding Cool reported over a month ago, in Kneel Before Zod #3, published today Ursa dies. Very visibly, very clearly, there is no coming back from this one. As General Zod deals with issues regarding his own powers under a red sun…

…so he is unable to prevent what is to come.

This is The Death Of Ursa. The Fridging Of Ursa. Whatever you want to call it. And what that means for Zod, Lor-Zod, Superman, Earth.., well, that all starts here and will play out into next year.

Too many shops think this is an inconsequential spin-off mini-series that, at best, sets up Sinister Sons. It's far, far more than that… and yeah maybe, just maybe, you might want to pick up the first two issues while they are still at cover price. Zod does seem rather angry on the cover of Kneel Before Zod #4…

Ursa first appeared in the 1978 film Superman: The Movie, played by Sarah Douglas and more prominently in Superman II, and only made her comic book debut in Action Comics #845 in 2007. A similar character, Faora, made several appearances in the Superman comics, a Phantom Zone villain who first appeared in Action Comics #471 in 1977 while the first film was in the midst of production. She has appeared more regularly in the comics over the years, but Ursa has been preferred of late.
