VERY FINE/NEAR MINT

(W) Alyssa Wong
(A/CA) Haining

From the pages of Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate, a new Chinese hero emerges who's able to travel to and from the Spirit World, the realm of the dead, and that of the living. Their name is Xanthe, and their superpower is being able to burn items folded from joss paper and immediately turn them into real objects, based on the East Asian practice of burning joss paper at graveyards in order to send resources to ancestors in the Spirit World...except Xanthe can retrieve those items in the world of the living! Their weapon of choice is a large broadsword (because who doesn't love a big sword when you can choose to use a big sword?!). Xanthe is a master of the dark arts who's here to give Constantine a run for his money...literally. When Constantine shows up saying Xanthe scammed him into buying something, he finds them and Batgirl Cass Cain fighting an abnormal influx of jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampires) and joins in to help. But when a portal opens up that drags Batgirl into the Spirit World, it's up to Xanthe and Constantine to travel to the land of the spirits to rescue her! Who knows what other spirits we'll find in the Spirit World—like that skateboarding boy wearing hanfu with some headphones and a gaping hole in his chest?!

What if? Cassandra Cain was stuck in Spirited Away while a new mystical, non-binary hero with a big ol’ buster blade tries to save her from perishing in the spirit world? Oh, and I guess John Constantine is here too. I’ve always been a fan of the mystical side of comics, especially DC. Alyssa Wong is doing a great job of building on a strong foundation of magic and adding their own touch to it. The art is amazing as well, as Haining captures the feeling of two different worlds with brilliant color work by Sebastian Cheng bringing it all together. Xanthe, the main character of Spirit World, is a non-binary spirit that can freely move between the land of the living and the spirit realm. I always get excited seeing enby representation, and Alyssa Wong has been delivering on fantastic queer characters in all of the series I’ve been reading by them. The character designs, the story, the art, and the emotion behind everything is making this one of my most anticipated series of this year and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did! 10/10 Grahams
