nigellicus 's review for:

Lazarus, Vol. 1: Family by Greg Rucka
5.0

Dystopian science fiction action thriller, set in a near future where 1%er families own and control everyone and everything. Forever Carlyle is a Lazarus, a specially bred, near-indestructible warrior, enforcer and bodyguard for the Carlyle family. Betrayal and intrigue are pushing the family towards a war, and Forever, loyal to the head of the family, is in the way.

Written as dark, hard-boiled science fiction by Rucka, drawn in gorgeous muted shades by Lark, a terrific comic.
