Lazarus is a dystopian science fiction comic book series created by
writer Greg Rucka and artist Michael Lark (pictured). Image Comics
released the first monthly issue on June 23, 2013. A six-issue spin-
off limited series, Lazarus: X+66, was released monthly in 2017 between
issues 26 and 27 of the regular series. Rucka and Lark began developing
the series in 2012 and partnered with colorist Santi Arcas to finish the
art. Other creators were brought in later to assist with lettering and
inking. In the series, the world has been divided among sixteen rival
families, who run their territories in a feudal system. The main
character is Forever Carlyle, the military leader of the Carlyle family.
The major themes of Lazarus are the meaning of family and nature versus
nurture. Critics have given it mostly positive reviews and have praised
its worldbuilding. The series has also been collected into paperback and
hardcover editions.
