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.
