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?!
