As Krypton crumbles, panic grips its people. Inside the House of El, a baby is placed into an escape pod—Kal-El, the last hope. Meanwhile, his teenage cousin, 16-year-old Kara Zor-El, is being sent away too, tasked with protecting the child. With her dog Krypto beside her, Kara’s pod is launched—but a shockwave knocks her off course. She awakens on a desolate world under a red sun, where her powers are suppressed and time passes slowly. One year on the planet feels endless. Grief-stricken and angry, Kara turns to drinking and brawling in a backwater town, Krypto her only loyal friend. Unbeknownst to her, Krypton’s end didn’t claim them all. General Zod, once sentenced to exile, survived aboard the final pod meant for Lara, Jor-El’s wife. Now, Zod seeks a new Krypton—and a final reckoning with the House of El. When Kara stops a gang of criminals in a fiery display of defiance, it draws attention. Zod learns of her presence and heads for the red-sunned world—but knowing he’s powerless there, he hires the galaxy’s most ruthless mercenary: Lobo. A brutal showdown begins. Kara, fueled by fury and loss, defends her new home. She defeats Lobo and forces Zod to retreat, but not before he reveals a truth—Kal-El lives. Hope ignited, Kara scavenges Zod’s ship for parts. With Krypto by her side, she sets a course for Earth. One year ago, she left a dying world. Now, she may have to raise its last son.
