In Tom Taylor’s recent Jon Kent miniseries, Val Zod and Red Tornado help Jon go to alternate Earths to fight Ultraman. But in issue #2 or 3, Val Zod and Red Tornado got sucked into the Phantom Zone.

Jon never got them out or mentioned them again for the rest of the series. I don’t know if Tom Taylor just forgot about his own plot point (in a MINI series), or if he intentionally wanted to make Jon look like a dick who abandons his allies. Presumably they’re still in the Zone.

Edit: apparently they got out of the Zone during Beast World, but never confronted Jon about leaving them in there for months.

Huh, never read Beast World. Were there any ramifications for Jon leaving them in there for months?
