This comic book collection is the second volume in the Lazarus series: I have not read the first but was very impressed with this volume.

I am familiar with the work of Greg Rucka from my Marvel Comics reading and Michael Lark’s work on Daredevil – both are very entertaining and this volume is no exception.

It relates to a dystopian future in which families rule in the USA and particularly the Carlyle family who dominate the Western United States. It involves the younger members of the family, particularly Forever and Joanna. It also deals with the Barrett family with no status trying to scrub a living together and eventually looking to get their children Lifted into the Carlyle family as Serfs.

Well-written and illustrated, it is a treat and I’d recommend it any comic book lover.

Highly enjoyable and I look forward to the next instalment.
