comment
Lazarus Planet is a Winter 2023 event from DC Comics. It is a spinoff of Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar's Batman vs. Robin, serving as an interlude between its penultimate and final chapters. The event also acts as a bridge between the conclusion of Dark Crisis and the launch of Dawn of DC, serving to set up plot points and characters for the latter.During the events of Batman vs. Robin, the Demon Nezha sought to gain control of Earth's magic and fuse it with the Lazarus Pits. Bruce and Damian Wayne, who were caught up as pawns in the demonic scheme, attempted to stop Nezha... but things didn't quite go according to plan.That climactic confrontation resulted in the destruction of Lazarus Island. This in turn triggered a volcanic eruption that spread Lazarus Resin all across the globe. In addition to the expected ecological damage, the Resin's mystical properties are wreaking complete and utter havoc with the scientific and magical corners of the DC Universe.With the Justice League having disbanded during Dark Crisis, and magic still compromised thanks to Nezha, Damian will have to step up to coordinate the heroic response, contain the fallout, and take stock of this brave new world.

Instantly Proven Wrong: Mercy Graves tries to warn Lex Luthor from standing in front of the windows as the storm in Metropolis gets worse, especially with them up top on Lexcorp Tower. Luthor's nonplussed - the windows are reinforced for these things. A split second later, Mercy saves Luthor from a bolt of lightning that shoots through.

Kryptonite Factor: Supergirl experiences an ironic variation/inversion. Thanks to Lazarus Resin exposure, solar radiation now weakens Kryptonians rather than empowers them.

Mass Super-Empowering Event: Played straight with global exposure to the Lazarus Resin empowering non-Metahumans (such as Mercy Graves). Zizagged with existing heroes, who are finding their own abilities either augmented or thrown out of whack thanks to the Lazarus effect.

Bittersweet Ending: King Fire Bull is shut down and imprisoned by the Spectre, whose magical power (along with other mages) has been restored. However, Black Alice is Faking the Dead after using her powers to restore the others. The damage done by the Lazarus Storm can't be undone and, unknown to Damian, Nezha is in possession of Batman's body, setting the stage for Batman vs. Robin's finale.

 Lazarus Planet (Comic Book) / int_571a3c67
comment
Power Incontinence: Thanks to the Lazarus Rain affecting everything, a lot of heroes are having their old powers crap out on them or their new ones causing problems. A few examples: Supergirl's Kryptonian powers seemingly now only work in the dark, with sunlight weakening her. The Firestorm Matrix now ages up the one it joins up with.

Sequel Hook
 Lazarus Planet (Comic Book) / int_6293c185
comment
Sequel Hook: Power Girl's story (and the changes to her powers) in the Assault On Krypton one-shot will continue directly into Leah Williams' backup feature in Action Comics #1051-1053. Similarly, Jon's own story and changes continues into his upcoming title Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent. The Wonder Woman and Shazam! stories in We Were Once Gods lead into the Revenge of the Gods mini-series, while Aquaman's story suggests a brand new Aquaman title is coming during Dawn of DC. Revenge of the Gods will in turn lead into Mark Waid and Dan Mora's Shazam! (2023). City Boy's, Xanthe's and The Vigil's stories continue in the Dawn of DC initiative "We Are Legends" Firestorm's stories seem to suggest more with them in the Dawn of DC era. The Doom Patrol story from the Dark Fate one-shot will likewise continue directly into Dennis Culver's Dawn of DC relaunch. The Huntress' story seems to set up the partially unveiled "Knight Terrors" event, Circuit Breaker's story continues over in DC Pride 2023 and Envoy's continues in Spirit World.

Heroic Sacrifice: In the We Were Once Gods story "Songs of Pain", Raphael Arce attempts to use his brand new Empathic Powers, but accidentally enables the remaining memory of Doomsday to try and find purchase in his body. Even the Martian Manhunter can't stop him. Arce pushes his Empathic Powers to the absolute limit, trapping the memory of Doomsday inside a crystal that was once Arce's body.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Though the Lazarus Storm gets quelled and the stolen magic restored to the rightful owners, the people the storm empowered or altered remain that way, and magic itself may behave differently from such drastic tampering.

Start of Darkness: King Fire Bull was originally Red Boy, an orphaned god who came to Nezha after Darkseid murdered his parents. He trained under Nezha until he unwittingly discovered a Mother Box, sending him to Apokalips. Red Boy tried to battle Darkseid and was joined by Nezha before Darkseid revealed Nezha's role in his parents' deaths and he tried to kill him, only for Nezha to turn against him and strike him down. As a god, Red Boy can't be killed so easily, so he came back and absorbed his parents' magical powers, becoming King Fire Bull.
