First look - Lazarus Planet explodes with four January specials

By We've got all the creative details and 25 covers for DC's first event of 2023 - Lazarus Planet Earlier in October DC announced the 2023 event , which spins out of the penultimate Batman vs. Robin #4 of the five-issue limited series by writer Mark Waid and artist Mahmud Asrar. "Heroes transformed. Secrets revealed. Powers unleashed," is the event's tagline, which involves an explosion of the Lazarus Volcano spitting transformative lava into the atmosphere. The eruption has worldwide, status quo-altering effects on existing superheroes (like transforming the Jon Kent Superman into a version of his dad's former ) and supervillains. It apparently also creates brand new ones like City Boy as DC shifts into the new editorial era known as in the new year. Waid is the event's architect and he'll be teaming with other writers on a series of 48-page one-shot specials in January and February, including Lazarus Planet: Alpha (1/10), Lazarus Planet: Assault on Krypton (1/17), Lazarus Planet: We Once Were Gods (1/24), Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn (1/31), Lazarus Planet: Next Evolution (2/7), Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate (2/14), and Lazarus Planet: Omega (2/21).. I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
