I reread all seven chapters so that I could move on with this wonderful series. I am finding graphic novel rereads to be rewarding. This one was no exception to that. I really like the artwork and the families. Forever is amazing even though she has a small part in this minimal action chapter. I really liked this one.
Original Review...
Lazarus Seven is a better chapter than the last two. 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. This one starts out strong with a welcome flashback to a young Forever. More about our young and scary heroine.
This chapter had a small dose of Forever but a lot of action nonetheless. I enjoyed the side and it made this a good read.
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.
The artwork is delightful and the action is quite...graphic. I am enjoying this series.

I try a lot of new comics, and most of them are mediocre. I have piles of single issues for series that didn't catch my interest. Lazarus is an exception. It just gets better and better.
This issue hit me like a sucker punch. First with baby Eve silently enduring her beating/training like a pro. "I didn't say a word." My heart ached for that little girl. Then came the surprise death, so fast and violent, over before you could blink, and yet the full impact was felt. The loss of a family member is devastating.
What sets Lazarus apart is the emotional punch of the storyline. This world is an accelerated view of the 1% ruling over the starving, struggling 99%. Corporations run society. Sadly, we can believe in this world. We know a version of this world. The writer and artist make it personal too. You feel with the characters and understand them, even the ones you dislike.
It's just GOOD. Well-written, effective art, interesting twists, emotional investment. This is what I want in any story, and it's especially satisfying to find it in a comic.

“I’m AFRAID” – Forever
“I know you are. You are afraid because it is UNKNOWN. You are afraid because it will HURT. But that’s the POINT, Eve.” – Marisol
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
