A collision of medieval horror, dark fantasy, and plague-era paranoia… This summer, Mad Cave Studios invites readers into a brutal medieval nightmare with Lazarus Order, the all-new dark fantasy horror series written by Sloane M. Siegel, co-created and character designed by Benjamin J. Stockham, with art and colors by Juan Doe, letters by DC Hopkins, and featuring variant covers by Marguerite Sauvage and Georges Jeanty with Juancho!​

In a medieval world where illness can lead to horrific and monstrous transformation, the Lazarus Order is mankind’s final bastion, preventing uncontrollable chaos. Devout plague doctors have sacrificed their freedom in an oath to God, in exchange for supernatural abilities. However, their powers come at a great cost—the more they use them, the more it consumes them until they fade to nothing. Despite this sacrifice, they live in servitude and dedication to protecting humanity from vampires, werewolves, Rattusvir (Rat-man disease), the undead, and other variants of “The First Sickness.”

Lazarus Order blends grotesque creature design with spiritual dread and impossible sacrifice. Perfect for readers of Berserk, Castlevania, Bloodborne, and The Last of Us, the series explores what remains of humanity when faith, fear, and disease become inseparable.

Lazarus Order #1 goes on sale August 19, 2026, with Final Order Cutoff on July 27.
