Lazarus Planet is on a mission to launch the Dawn Of DC, with new characters or new superpowers for old supercharacters, and Lazarus Planet: Omega #1 out tomorrow by Mark Waid, Gene Luen Yang, Riccardo Federici and Billy Tan from DC Comics. Though it is probably that not all of them will stick it out beyond Lazarus Planet. Power Girl's telepathy? Sure.

But Damian Wayne's heat vision? Not a chance. At least The Spectre gets a red button reset.

But exactly why everyone is supering up with the Lazarus juice? Well, that gets more nuance too.

And if you're not entirely sure what is going on when you read this…

…take solace that some of the characters feel the same way. Or at least Damian Wayne does. There are loose ends aplenty…

… characters who have yet to have their own changes revealed, or the reasons for it explained, and magic making The Captain always change forms when he says the word Shazam…

With Dreamer establishing her place in the Dawn Of DC with a little help from Fate's helmet. And as for Lazarus Planet being an Omega issue? Turns out that Ultimate comics aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Well you only have to wait a week for Batman vs Robin to try and sort this particular demonic change out…
