Rucka and Lark, together again, and better than ever

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

Greg Rucka is so talented, and I think his best work is when he's writing his own characters. He is especially great at writing political potboilers and strong female characters...Lazarus has both. It has a great premise and features a really strong female character lead (Forever "Eve" Carlyle) and it is up there with his best stuff (check out Rucka's Queen and Country, Whiteout, his Atticus Kodiak books). Michael Lark's art is terrific as well and complements the book. I think the one-two punch pairing of Lark and Rucka is very similar to the strong pairing of Phillips and Brubaker.

What I liked:
-Rucka and Lark, together again, and better than ever
-Great, gripping storyline
-Awesome action and interesting structure in how the ruling organizations are run
-Michael Lark's realistic art style and layouts are like movie storyboards
-Every chapter ends on a cliffhanger

What I didn't like:
-Nothing
-Okay, I wish there was more!!! The wait for future volumes will be a killer.

I look forward to the next volume.

Happy with it.

Love the action sequences. As a fan of the Terminator films I found this book instantly compelling. Also the main Character is refreshingly straight forward.

My only gripe is that I wish the volumes were longer than 90 or so pages. I guess it is due to the length of the overall narrative but still once you get the book it doesn't last long at all.

LOVE this series. Volume 1 was good, but needed to lay a lot of ground work to set the scene. The volumes that follow are even better.

That was a unique sci-fi dystopian adventure. Story definitely has its own style, its own look and its own features with a strong female protagonist and an exciting adventure with many opposing families vying for supremacy. I'll definitely pick up vol. 2

Very good

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 10, 2021

Going into this I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't read what its about so I had nothing going into it. There is not much for me to say except there is a bit of a mystery where everyone knows a secret except for the one involved and as a result Forever Carlyle id being led by her nose. She has a heart and soul but she was not born she was made. She is a Lazarus and she does what the family asks her to do. What her father asks her to do. She is tough and very trusting of her family so easily used. And now something has gone wrong and she is on the warpath. I'm intrigued enough to want to know more. I will likely eventually pick up volume 2.

Rise Again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

Lazarus is set in a near future dystopia where a group of families rule and use the others known as 'the waste' to keep themselves in power and advance their influence. The Carlyle Family use their Lazarus, Forever to maintain control and enforce their rule wherever dissent might rise. After being shot dead and risen again after defending the family home, Forever faces betrayal and begins to realise there might be members of her own family hiding secrets from her and working against her.
I really enjoyed this first entry into the Lazarus series, completely hooked me in from the brutal opening pages to the final plot twist on the final pages. Plus exploring this strange new world through the eyes of the lead character was an absolute joy. I read this first volume in one sitting and can't wait to get through the others. It's a fast paced story with great art work and well written characters who I hope to see developed further in the coming volumes. I am also hoping there will be further explanation of how this world came into being in future volumes as this world is ripe for further exploration as is it's history.

Good idea but a loose story and lack of progress/movement lets it down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

I'm always impressed by the variety and quality of Image Comics and was tempted again to try something new. Lazarus tells the story of warring families in what looks like a post-WW3 world; families run vast territories and the Lazarus is a defender of a house, an effectively immortal humanoid bodyguard bound to do the families bidding.

Unfortunately beyond the initial premise I feel there is little by way of story and story progression. In the entire first volume there are only a few key events; the world is outlined but not vividly, there are lots of characters but ironically we don't actually get that much of the protagonist; events happen too easily when they do; it just lacks depth. I didn't get the feeling of inevitability of change, of conflict brewing; it lacks the emotive intensity of other productions from Image.

Is it worth it just to explore the artwork; I'm 50-50. The art is much less detailed and ambitious than Low or perhaps Postal; it's a study of how minimal colour range can portray characters in a few easy strokes. Light and subtle posture changes are used throughout to give scenes atmosphere.

Overall I'd say it's 'OK', one for your B-list;there are better options if you're looking for a story to be absorbed by or art to croon over.

Lazarus Volume 1 Review

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

Lazarus Volume 1 collects the first four issues of the new science fiction series. It opens with a deeply defined world and interesting post apocalyptic premise, showing us the remnants of the USA and regions of Mexico which are ruled by a number of families which essentially control private millitary groups and act as tribes each tribe has a "Lazarus" a genetically engineered human with an ability to withstand extreme damage and rapidly regenerate cells effectively rendering them immortal. The first volume follows Forever of the Carlyle family as she attempts to secure a deal with a rival family, under command from her father, the head of the Carlyle family, she must also deal with a traitor within the family. The first few issues collected in this paperback are strong albeit much slower paced than many other contempory comics, this however is a positive as Greg Rucka builds a deep and intriguing world and sets up an array of complex relationships between the various multi dimensional characters within the story, the writing is exceptional and engages the reader into Forever's world. The comics strength also lies within its artwork by Lark which contains both realism and a sense of simplicity, each line conveys dynamism and has a concise feel to it. The volume also contains a lot of strong graphic violence which is captured well by Lark there is little galmourisation of violence it is depicted brutally and realistically also the colouring plays a significant role in creating atmosphere and mood using different hues of blues, greys and purples. Overall the first volume of Lazarus is captivating and sets up the premise of a potentially brilliant science fiction comic.

Fast, fierce and fictional

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

Post apocalyptic, dystopian game of thrones about rich people double crossing each other and the likable pawns in their power struggles. There are twists and turns which manage to be neither boringly predictable nor unsatisfying obtuse. It rumbles along at an astounding pace without sacrificing story line, violence is gratifying without being unnecessary and the characters range from deviously abhorrent (without becoming too cliched) to tantalizingly grey. The 'Sci' element lends credibility to the events and technologies without becoming tiresome while the 'Fi' is contextualized through recognizable and relatable concepts widely considered plausible in our own uncertain future. It maintains both heart and mind though is devoid of sentimentality. The art is super good too.

Really different and has staying power

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 1, 2014

I have to admit to being a fan of most of Greg Rucka's work, so I came to this in the hope that it would be a good read. In fact it's more than that. When working with Michael Lark he seems to come into his own, and this is no exception.

A great start to what become a really strong fan cult favourite series. The concepts of the Lazaruses (Lazari?) protecting the families from outsiders and each other is a really intrguing one and I hope it will be given the time to develop and unravel.

Great start, guys!
