“I’m excited for readers to see what we’ve been cooking up–old favorite characters, new favorite characters, and team-ups you’ve never seen before are all coming your way,” said writer G. Willow Wilson. “Diana will be tested in ways she’s never been tested before, and find new allies in unexpected places. There are some twists and reveals that I guarantee will have you jumping out of your chair.”

I have been a fan of her work for years now and I couldn’t have chosen a more exciting book to work together on than Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods,” said Artist Cian Tormey. “The story is going to feature things that I’ve never even thought about drawing before, so I hope everyone is ready for what we have planned!”
In case you aren’t yet prepared for Lazarus Planet here’s the latest reading order from DC:
Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods takes place immediately after the events of Lazarus Planet. The gods of the Multiverse have decided to take down the heroes they once called champions and the world they’ve sworn to protect. For years the gods sat idle atop their mountains as their legends faded into obscurity along with their bodies. Now is their time to remind the selfish mortals of their existence and take back the world with something more powerful than belief…fear. Only the brave heroes Wonder Woman and Shazam stand in their way, but will their combined powers be enough?
The first issue of Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods will hit comic book stores and digital platforms in March 2023.
