I just read Superman: Last Son and thought it was pretty good. It was the first story I have ever read with General Zod.
Basically, a ship crash lands in Metropolis carrying a young boy. it is soon determined that he is Kryptonian. Clark and Lois adopt him to keep him safe and name him Christopher Kent.
Turns out he's actually General Zod's son and came from the Phantom Zone. A bunch of former Phantom Zone prisoners break out and attack Metropolis, and Superman is forced to team up with Lex Luthor (with the aid of Bizarro, Parasite, and Metallo.
General Zod attacks and, long story short, Luthor, Parasite and Metallo kill most/all of the Kryptonians. Luthor opens up a portal back to the Phantom Zone which will pull in anyone who has had contact with it - including Superman. Those that aren't killed are sucked back in, and Christopher Kent allows himself to be taken back to close the portal (he is linked to the portal because it was opened from his ship).
Chapter 4 is kind of cool because it is done in 3D and comes with 3D glasses. But you have to cut them out of the book, and I wasn't about to cut up my book for a few scenes.
Pretty good story, great art (I love the cover image). 3.75/5
(covers Action Comics 844, 845, 846, 851, & Action Comics Annual #11)
