King Fire Bull is alive, but hurt after the end of the core Lazarus Planet (Lazarus Planet Omega #1 spoilers here).
That’s on top of the actual finale to the core event in Batman vs. Robin #5 (full spoilers here).
The current twice monthly Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods mini-series (Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods#1 full spoilers here) does not appear (yet) to be continue the Lazarus Planet story in a consequential or recognizable way.
Looks like King Fire Bull is unleashed upon Supergirl.
We then have Shifu Pigsy reveal more of his secret origin to the Monkey Prince here and here.
The team then attacks King Fire Bull to save Supergirl.
We see the extent of Monkey Prince’s powers unleashed.
As he and Pigsy trap King Fire Bull in an orb.
The book ends with the trusim that family is complicated.

The Pulse.
It is not clear what’s next for the Monkey Prince as his series is over, but it was an ok finale. GREAT art and an entertaining story, but the series had untapped potential. 6.5 out of 10.
