Synopsis

General Zod turns on Rogol Zaar, and is joined by Superman, Supergirl, and Superboy to defeat Zaar. After the battle, the last Kryptonians gather on Thanagar to address representatives of worlds across the galaxy to plead for unity to avoid an intergalactic war. Superboy suggests the formation of the United Planets, and the Legion of Super-Heroes from the 31st Century appear to commemorate the event.

Notes

Cover does not feature title logo.

This issue and Supergirl #33 were originally to go on sale on 08/14/19, but less than a week prior to that date, DC asked retailers to destroy all copies of these issues and told them that replacement copies would be sent to go on sale later. This issue was delayed to 08/28/19, Supergirl #33 was delayed to 09/04/19. DC's stated reason was that the original issues had covers that featured a "Year of the Villain" logo, but these issues had no ties to that event so they would be re-issued with new covers. This reasoning was questioned, as there was another issue on sale the same week, Catwoman #14, that also had a "Year of the Villain" cover logo and a story that had no ties to the event, and that issue was not recalled. Subsequent speculation centered around the introduction of the new Legion of Super-Heroes in the Superman and Supergirl issues, and the depiction of Lightning Lad's ethnicity. In the published issue, Lightning Lad is portrayed as dark-skinned, in leaked images of the original printing, Lightning Lad was light-skinned.

The re-issued variant cover features the same art as the original printing, but the "Year of the Villain - Dark Gifts" logo that appeared on the original printing has been removed.
