Preludes
Batman vs Robin #1-4 (and #5)
Written by Mark Waid. Art and Cover by Mahmud Asrar.
Spinning out of the events of both Batman/Superman: World's Finest and Shadow
War, father and son will do battle in one of the single most earth-shattering
tales ever told! Deep in the heart of Lazarus Island, the demonic legacy of the
al Ghul family line has at last been freed, and the Devil Nezha is out for
blood. To reclaim his total domination over planet Earth, Nezha has
supercharged magic—anyone who dares use it is overcome by a demonic evil that
supercharges their abilities to dangerous, unpredictable, and in some cases
deadly levels! With Damian in Nezha's clutches and Bruce haunted by the return
of an old friend, the Dark Knight and the Boy Wonder are pitted against one
another in the battle of the century! Legendary writer Mark Waid helms the next
epic saga in Batman history, while superstar artist Mahmud Asrar makes his
triumphant return to DC!
Monkey King #1-10 (and #11-12)
Introducing the newest hero in the DCU, the great sage, equal to the heavens, better than his predecessor the legendary Monkey King, even better than the Justice League and definitely the Teen Titans (actually, all the heroes combined), everyone put your hands together for...the Monkey Prince! Marcus Sun moves around a lot because his adoptive parents are freelance henchpeople. This month he finds himself as the new kid at Gotham City High School, where a mysterious man with pig features asks Marcus to walk through a water curtain to reveal himself as who Marcus really is: someone who has adventured through the Journey to the West, can transform into 72 different formations, can clone himself using his hairs, and is called...the Monkey Prince!
Lazarus Planet Alpha #1
Written by Mark Waid, Gene Luen Yang. Art by Riccardo Federici, Billy Tan, Various. Cover by Francesco Mattina.
CHANGE THE WORLD.
Following the explosive (literally) events of Batman vs. Robin #4, the Lazarus
Volcano has erupted, spewing dangerous and transformative chemicals into
Earth's atmosphere! As these Lazarus clouds rain down upon the planet, people
across the globe begin to develop strange new abilities, watch their
already-extraordinary abilities change, and witness a whole host of chaos unlike
anything the DCU has experienced before! It's up to Damian Wayne to put out the
distress call for whoever can still hear it: come to the ruins of the Hall of
Justice and help save the world! Poison Ivy, Power Girl, Cyborg, Batman, and
more answer the call...but why could the fate of all life as we know it rest in
the hands of...Monkey Prince? 48 pages

With the world in chaos and Lazarus raining from the skies, the Earth's protectors from Krypton are hit hard. In this collection of epic vignettes from in and around Lazarus Planet, we'll see heroes transformed, secrets revealed, and power unleashed. Can Power Girl free herself from the out-of-control Omen? Will Dreamer's visions guide our heroes to the path of victory? Can Mercy Graves survive the transformation she's undergone? And will Jonathan Kent ever be the same again? 48 pages

As the Lazarus rain beats down
upon planet Earth, human beings are only a fraction of those affected by this
transformative upheaval--enter: We Once Were Gods. This series of vignettes
explores Lazarus Planet's effects across the many extraordinary locations and
creatures in the DC Universe, and like their human counterparts, these beings
are in for some big changes. Can Themyscira survive the resurrection of every
invading army that ever graced its shores? Will Martian Manhunter survive a
psychic link to a Doomsday nest? What happens when the monsters from the Trench
gain the ability to breathe air? And look out, Shazam Family...the Rock of
Eternity is about to get rocked. 48 pages

Ancient and
dangerous power has been awakened following the eruption of the Lazarus
Volcano, and this surge of fantastical power will affect the DC Universe
forevermore! In Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn, we'll explore corners of the
planet newly awakened and primed to restore some heroes and villains long forgotten!
With the help of Nightwing, can new hero City Boy hope to commune with Gotham
in time to save it? Who are the mysterious trio claiming to be resurrected
siblings of Raven? How far would the Question go to chase a lead across a
transformed Gotham City? And will the flame of Firestorm burn out yet another
horrific host? Not if Harley Quinn has anything to say about it! 48 pages

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. Its up to Zatanna, the Spectre,
the Demon, Klarion, and the rest of the DCUs magic users to join Damian Wayne
and set things right—but to do that, they'll have to uncover Nezha's final,
explosive secret! Plus: Dreamer has rescued Doctor Fate's helmet from
destruction...but why does it keep glowing like that? The Dawn of the DCU
begins as the Lazarus Planet saga crashes to a close! 48 pages

KNEEL BEFORE THE GODS OF THE DC UNIVERSE!
Chaos has
been brewing after the events of Lazarus Planet. Now the gods of the Multiverse
have decided to take down the heroes they once called champions and the world
they've sworn to protect. Only the brave heroes Wonder Woman and Shazam stand
in their way, but will their combined powers be enough? Can Themyscira survive
the resurrection of every invading army that ever graced its shores? As the
Lazarus rain beats down upon planet Earth, explore its effects across the DC
Universe in Revenge of the Gods.
Written by Joshua Williamson. Art by Roger Cruz, Norm Rapmund. Cover by Simone Di Meo.
Damian Wayne is back from the Shadow War and
licking his wounds the best way a Wayne knows how...brooding (duh). But in
light of the shocking death in the al Ghul family, Robin resolves to dig deeper
into the world of the Demon...and a return to Lazarus Island—with Flatline at
his side—leaves him with yet another shocking revelation!
Issues are NM; I have noted where any issue is obviously lower than NM. VF is most typically due to some minor crease along the spine or corner, or some discoloration ... but nothing that would be obvious at a casual look. For lower than VF I've provided some explanation to the condition.
Each issue is individually bagged and boarded (silver age size), placed with cardboard backer, and secured in a Gemini comic mailer. This is then wrapped in a water/tear proof mailing envelope. I use painters tape to better secure packaging.
U.S. Mailing charges: None - Lazarus Planet story (all 33 issues) ships without additional postage or materials fees!
