Lazarus

Greg Rucka and Michael Lark launched Lazarus into the Modern Age with their 2013 Image Comics series, and this character immediately signaled something distinctive and worth paying attention to. Sharing the page with Jonah Carlyle, Lazarus inhabits a world that feels both sleek and brutal, the kind of creator-owned Image storytelling that rewards readers who like their comics with weight and craft. The run may be compact in catalog entries, but the debut issue carries real key-issue energy — Rucka and Lark are names that collectors trust, and this is one of those series that reminds you why Image exists.
