This is all a means of saying that even though Lazarus: Risen #1 is a a new #1 issue, it’s set in a thoroughly explored world during what seems like not-quite the midway point of a long story. All told, that’s about 34 incredible issues of content, plus some other supplemental material with more information that help support a Lazarus RPG. To date, there have been 28 issues of Lazarus in the main series, plus a six-issue auxiliary series titled Lazarus: X+66, which fills in the gaps of side characters and the story’s broader world over the course of a 12-month period. All in all, this is one of the smartest and most compulsively readable comics on the market, a must-read for any fan of the medium. The world is so well-built, the characters compelling and complex, the dilemmas they face suspenseful. I recently re-read the entire series, and once I got about mid-way through the second volume, I almost literally could not put it down. By Zack Quaintance - I really don’t think it’s possible to heap enough praise atop writer Greg Rucka and artist Michael Lark’s immersive dystopian near-future comic epic, Lazarus.
