Never one to listen to instruction (again, failing to grasp "great" events, villains or dangers as something of a trademark), Boomerang approached the spherical Phantom Zone device without fear. one member of the Squad wound up standing in the way. And as Zod unleashed his Heat Vision on the barrier between worlds, tearing his way out with his bare hands. The heroes obviously vanquished him once again and returned him to his prison, but it seems that the enemy forces experimenting with the Phantom Zone in "Suicide Squad" at least partially opened the door for him to escape. Zod's story in the New 52 was primarily told in the "Superman/Wonder Woman" series, chronicling his incarceration in, and escape from the Phantom Zone.
General Dru-Zod of Krypton is its most famous resident, including the version introduced in the New 52 - somewhat rewritten as an abandoned boy found by Superman's father and uncle, eventually growing into one of Krypton's most successful (and brutal) generals.
Now, any fan of just about any incarnation of Superman knows that the "Phantom Zone" is widely known as the dimension used by the ancient Kryptonians as a form of "pocket prison" for their most dangerous criminals (though the mythology of the actual "zone" has expanded over the years to represent a complete dimension). Once the team finds the device, however, they learn that it packs a far bigger punch than your usual superweapon: it's a gateway to the famed Phantom Zone. The target? An object of cosmic significance contained inside "The Black Vault," with no other information to go on. The less said about the set-up the better, since any fan of the Squad can already guess the premise: Amanda Waller re-assembles a team of villains ( close to that of the Suicide Squad movie) and sends them into a maximum security installation in foreign waters.

And for those who haven't been reading the "Suicide Squad" series - just three issues in - allow us to offer some context for the bombshell.
his death seems about as final as one can get. The writers or editorial may indeed have a plan in mind to bring Boomerang back into the series, but for the moment. To the average fan of comic book television, cartoons, or movies, the above revelation may sound a little too strange to be believed - while seasoned comic book readers may assume that Boomerang, like so many other fallen characters, isn't really dead.
