Giant first issue! A brand new, 70-page story! Lazarus figures out who he is and comes to terms with his past, as first-century history unfolds around him. The Bible was only the beginning! Plus, an interview with scholar A. David Lewis on religion in this issue's story.
A creative writer and comics scholar, Dr. Julian Darius holds degrees in English (Ph.D., M.A.) and French (M.A.).
Darius founded Martian Lit, for which he writes several acclaimed comics titles, including Martian Comics, Necropolitan, Kimot Ren, Forever Man, and The Synthetics. He's also published a novel, some short stories, and a screenplay.
In 1996, while still an undergraduate, Darius founded what would become Sequart Organization, an organization devoted to promoting comic books and pop culture as a legitimate art form. He wrote copiously for Sequart’s website, has authored books on comics, and has produced documentary films for the organization.
He co-hosts the Stories out of Time and Space podcast with Scott Weatherly. It covers science-fiction movies and TV shows.
Successfully spinning the character from the Martian comics, Darius creates a compelling (and historically accurate as far as I can see) story that sets the future stakes for the titular character.
He has been brought back to life, but what kind of life expects him in a world where change doesn't stop? Who is he, and how does he sees himself? A fantastic discovery quest. And a must read.
Plus, the conversation with fellow author David Lewis is a fantastic read.
