About Lazarus Volume 1
Product Description Collecting the first four issues of the Eisner-winning team of Rucka and Lark's critically acclaimed new series about Forever Carlyle, the Lazarus of the Carlyle Family. Included is the previously only-available-online, four-page short, "Family: Prelude." In a dystopian near-future, government is a quaint concept, resources are coveted, and possession is 100% of the law. A handful of Families rule, jealously guarding what they have and exploiting the Waste who struggle to survive in their domains. Forever Carlyle defends her family's holdings through deception and force as their protector, their Lazarus. Shot dead defending the family home, Forever's day goes downhill from there... From Booklist Although the creative team of Rucka and Lark (Gotham Central) is enough to bring comics fans to their new project, Lazarus, the dense cyberpunk Mafia world will keep them coming back to the comic racks for weeks to come. Rucka crafts the story of a world shattered into fiefdoms and controlled by high-tech Mob families. Each family has their very own “Lazarus,” a cybernetic warrior pledged to carry out the family’s dirty work on their path to control their population. Our protagonist is the Lazarus and daughter of the Carlyle family, Forever “Eve” Carlyle, who appears to have far more depth than her role as coldhearted killer would initially suggest. The more information Rucka unfurls about the political dealings of each family, the more it becomes scattered with betrayal, power struggles, and corruption. Lark’s sharp yet brooding art manages to be violent without becoming gratuitous, pulling back for the sake of tension and the movement of the story. Fans of Rucka and Lark’s Gotham Central or Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ Sleeper will enjoy this rich universe. --Ben Spanner
