The finale to the Lazarus Planet event is here, as DC’s greatest heroes are about to reset the universe in a significant way. Several magical heroes and Damian Wayne are teaming up in Lazarus Planet: Omega #1 to stop the ongoing war between the Devil Nezha and his son, King Fire Bull, which has caused widespread chaos and calamity across the world. The comic will set up the next era of DC Comics, as The Dawn of the DCU will spring from the events of the game-changing final issue of the Lazarus Planet storyline.
The Lazarus Planet event has seen the DC Universe change after the most impressive magical items, including the Helmet of Fate, were assembled by the Devil Nezha to gain control of the world by ancient forces. However, when Batman and several heroes tried to stop the villain, it led to a Lazarus Volcano erupting, causing transformations across the DC Universe. Batman gained a devilish power upgrade after being killed, including Martian Manhunter merged with Doomsday, and Mercy Graves developed powers of her own. The event also introduced new characters, such as the supernatural hero Xanathe, the Vigil superteam, and Circuit Breaker. However, Lazarus Planet: Omega #1 is about to shake up the DCU.
In the new preview for Lazarus Planet: Omega #1 by Mark Waid, Gene Luen Yang, Mike Perkins, Riccardo Federici, Brad Anderson, Bily Tan, and Sebastian Cheng, the finale of the Lazarus Planet event is teased. The text preview reveals that the Lazarus storms are getting more intense worldwide. Zatanna, the Spectre, Etrigan the Demon, Klarion the Witch Boy, and more magic users will join forces with Damian Wayne to stop the Devil Nezha before it’s too late.
FATE AND FURY. The Devil Nezha and his son are at war—with all of humanity caught in the middle! The Lazarus storms are intensifying worldwide, Earth’s superheroes are on the ropes, and Batman is living on borrowed time. It’s up to Zatanna, the Spectre, the Demon, Klarion, and the rest of the DCU’s magic users to join Damian Wayne and set things right—but to do that, they’ll have to uncover Nezha’s final, explosive secret!
