Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1 is the best Lazarus Planet one-shot so far. The stories range from pure superhero action to high-fantasy adventure to dark and moody John Wick type action. It gives us great moments with rarely seen characters like The Huntress, The Doom Patrol and Cassandra Cain and introduces new characters Circuit Breaker and Xanthe Zhou. I especially loved Xanthe Zhou and I hope we see a lot more of them in the future. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
As individual stories, this is a great one-shot that makes the whole event a lot more interesting. Read Full Review
If these Lazarus Planet one shots have shown the readers anything, it's that the new Dawn of DC era will be one of the most diverse in its history. Lots of new characters and underutilized old characters will be getting time to shine in the spotlight. This issue in particular had a great combination of the old and new, with excellent artwork, interesting character design, and meaningful representation. Read Full Review
A set of great teasers would still benefit from any sense that they were grouped together on purpose. Read Full Review
We have an absolute plethora of new characters, new stories, and new creators to follow after this event, and it's got me excited for DC's future. I've said it multiple times now, but Dawn of DC is shaping up to be one of the best moves the company has made in years. Read Full Review
Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1 delivers four short stories that act as preludes to other DC series coming in the future. The shorts are interesting and end on solid cliffhangers, but almost nothing in this collection has anything to do with the Lazarus Planet event. Read Full Review
The book looks great at times, but often remains uneventful. Most of the tales in the anthology follow new characters, cartoonish art, and plots right out of serial television. Although, none of these Lazarus Planet tie-ins are that good on their own, readers can at least count on some engrossing teases to future storylines. In this issue, I'll definitely cosign a Dennis Culver led Doom Patrol, but Circuit Breaker, Xanthe Zhou, and Batgirl might be a bit harder. In terms of Lazarus Planet so far, I don't think the rain is playing a part effectively, and find myself wondering who thought spin-offs were necessary at all. Read Full Review
At this point Lazarus Planets spin-offs can be safely ignored. Theres no reason to hope for a true advancement in the story while these character introductions slowly roll out with little repercussion to the actual event itself. Read Full Review
its fine to be honest. Not amazing, and there are some good stories in this. I think its better when we read it in trade paper back.
Really enjoyed Tim Seeley's and Dennis Culver's stories, but other than that, it's just super forgettable.
Lazarus Planet rose to the top of my read pile after the first issue but it’s all been hit or miss since then. This issue is no different. First two stories were good, second two were shit. Two 8’s and two 6’s average 7. Not nauseating messaging but not so good, either.
This whole event has been more or less pretty good. Leave it to Seeley to bring this issue down with an incredibly bland Huntress story. Also, making a devout catholic character put herself above god is a choice.
