Lazarus #4

This 2016 Image Comics collection brings together the "Mercy" arc of Greg Rucka's dystopian series, with interior work by Michael Lark, Owen Freeman, Eric Trautmann, Tyler Boss, and Santi Arcas's striking colors. Owen Freeman's cover art sets a tense, atmospheric tone — a battle-hardened woman in sleek black tactical armor moves through a snowstorm, rifle in hand, while armored soldiers mass in the blurred background behind her. It's a quietly fierce image that captures everything compelling about Lazarus: disciplined craft, high stakes, and a world that feels both futuristic and uncomfortably plausible.
