SERIES PREMIERE The** Eisner-Award winning team of LARK and RUCKA return **with the FIRST ISSUE of their final series about Forever Carlyle! In a neo-feudalist world ruled by the ultra wealthy Families, each has a Lazarus, raised and trained to be the instrument of that Family’s will. Finally free of her father’s control, Forever is going to burn it all down.
An early preview of the highly anticipated upcoming seriesLazarus: Fallenshows that lead character Forever Carlyle is not afraid to get bloody to prove her point. As she sets out to destroy the Families–the wealthy few running this “near future” dystopian world—she’ll need to make allies along the way. Helmed by Eisner Award-winning creators writer Greg Rucka and artist Michael Lark, and colorist Santi Arcas, the New York Times bestselling dystopian sci-fi series Lazarus is returning for a final installment.
Fans of Andor, Silo, and Blade Runner will enjoy this futuristic, and yet prescient, tale about what those in power will do to obtain more power and to silence those in opposition…and what rebels, whether genetically engineered or not, will do to stop them. Along with early preview pages from Lazarus: Fallen #2, a look at the process and cover artwork from the series tease a little of what’s to come soon.
Rucka, Lark, and Arcas are joined by letterer Ariana Maher, editor Alejandro Arbona, and graphic designers Eric Trautmann and Richard Howe for the new series, with issue #1 debuting June 25 (with a Final Order Cutoff deadline for retailers today, June 2). Lazarus: The Fourth Collection—a hardcover volume that collects Lazarus #27 and #28, and for the first time, the complete seven-issue run of Lazarus: Risen—is also now available, along with the first three collections, for those looking to catch up on the series ahead of Lazarus: Fallen.
The Lazarus series follows Forever Carlyle, an unkillable, genetically-engineered soldier, controlled by the mechanisms of her father, Malcolm Carlyle. Malcolm is the patriarch of one of the powerful Families that rose to rule the world after an economic-driven apocalypse. The Families now own everything and everyone; in this neo-feudalist order, you are either of value to the Families and made a Serf, or you are irrelevant, disposable labor, called Waste.
But the Families are driven by greed, and in their unending pursuit of more and more, each created a Lazarus—a man or woman created and trained to be the loyal instrument of their Family’s will. Forever Carlyle is the Lazarus of the Carlyle Family, raised to absolutely believe in her duty to her family, and with an unquestioning loyalty to her father. That time is over, and now Forever—with the aid of her younger sister and next iteration of the Carlyle Lazarus, Infinity—means to destroy the world her father created.
Lazarus: Fallen #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 25, featuring a cover by Lark (Final Order Cutoff deadline for retailers is today, June 2; Lunar Code 0425IM294). Issue #2 hits shelves on July 30 (Final Order Cutoff deadline for retailers is July 7; Lunar Code 0525IM403), and issue #3 hits shelves on August 27 (Final Order Cutoff deadline for retailers is August 4; Lunar Code 0625IM356).
