Lazarus: Risen #7

Six figures — an uneasy assembly of men and women — gather before a massive emblem bearing the Latin motto "Oderint Dum Metuant" (Let them hate, so long as they fear), all of it framed by roaring flames that give Michael Lark's stark, monochromatic cover art a deeply ominous warmth. The seated, steely-eyed patriarch at the center projects quiet menace, while the five figures surrounding him suggest a family or faction bound by tension as much as loyalty. Greg Rucka and Lark's dystopian saga continues to feel utterly essential in 2022, and this seventh issue promises the kind of high-stakes intrigue that has made Lazarus: Risen one of Image's most compelling ongoing series.
