That flashback scene broke my heart.

Flashbacks to Forever’s childhood are simply heart breaking!
Second volume of this intense and original dystopian story where distinct biological families are the power-brokers. Forever Carlyle is the family’s ‘weapon’ adult daughter. Captivating tale
“But if the SHITSTAIN coward who shot me in the back acted AGAINST orders .. Carlyle will be SATISFIED by seeing the soldier in question PUNISHED …” – Forever
[HE IS NOT YOUR FATHER. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAMILY.]

Lazarus #5 by Greg Rucka picks up right where the last episode left off. It continues the story of Forever Carlyle but does not move the story line much. In my attempt to reread the few chapters that I read last year, I knew what to expect with this one.
We were due for a let down after the amazing bloody delicious action of the previous chapter. loud. This one starts out strong with a welcome flashback to a young Forever. We desperately need some time spent giving us backstory and history to make us care. Otherwise, the series could lose my interest. Unfortunately, this one comes off as slow, boring, and shallow compared to the Volume 1 edition.
I felt the same a second time around and I am keeping the rating at three stars.
Greg Rucka has created a no holds barred action filled graphic novel that is extremely bloody. The artwork is very good and has a cool dark look to it making this feel intense. I am a confessed graphic novel newbie as The Saga series by Vaughan is the only set of comics that I have ever read(I absolutely love the Saga series by the way).
Lazarus is a great near future story about Forever Carlyle and the family.
On to chapter 6.
