Lazarus #8

Greg Rucka and Michael Lark's dystopian world-building is on full display with this striking cover for issue eight of Lazarus, styled as an in-universe propaganda poster for the Carlyle family. Three figures — a suited official clutching a book and canteen, a bespectacled woman in uniform, and an armored soldier — gaze upward beneath the pointed slogans "Are You the One We're Looking For?" and "Better Yourself, Better Carlyle," complete with the Carlyle family seal. It's a sharp, unsettling piece of design that captures the series' fascination with power, loyalty, and the machinery of control — all for just $2.99 in 2014.
