How DC Comics' Lazarus Planet Affects The World

Bleeding Cool gets a look at the global map showing how the Lazarus Planet event will affect the DC Comics Earth.

Lazarus Planet, the DC Comics event written by Mark Waid and Gene Luen Yang, involved a volcano on Lazarus Island exploding, releasing Terrigen Mist chemicals that cause heroes to gain new powers. Yeah, basically, it's Inhumans Vs X-Men for the DC Comics universe. And Bleeding Cool is giving you a look at the map to the event, including the one-shots that lay it out across the globe.

We can zoom in a bit, and most of Lazarus Planet, even though it is meant to be affecting the whole world, the storm only gets coverage in the USA…

… and scattered showers across Japan, the Himalayas and Paradise Island – which looks to be located in the Aegean Sea now.
