In a dystopian near-future, government is a quaint concept, resources are coveted, and possession is 100% of the law. A handful of Families rule, jealously guarding what they have and exploiting the Waste who struggle to survive in their domains. Forever Carlyle defends her family's holdings through deception and force as their protector, their Lazarus.

Review of 'Lazarus' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I believe I learned about this book from the Sliver of Ice blog, which reviews comics. While I read superhero comics as an adolescent, I've found that deeper stories are of more interest to me as an adult.

The story is told in the art without words on several pages of this graphic novel. The story drops you straight into a family melodrama. Some of it is over-the-top, but it sets the stage for the story. I look forward to reading more of Lazarus.
