Lazarus

review 1: It took me until about midway through the first chapter to realize that "Forever" is the main character's name and not just a strangely non-grammatical interjection people talking to her used; the problem being that she is also called "Eve" which is more obviously a name. I don't think any of the concepts in this story are particularly new or innovative, but it is solidly constructed and presented and an enjoyable read. I look forward to the next volume.
review 2: Obviously the first part in a series. A new writer for me and a new series. Well - drawn, I liked the colouring of the panels. Still trying to sort out the premise, which I imagine would be more fully explored in future editions. From what I could gather, set in a dystopian future, where families cont... morerol vast areas of, at least the US, maybe the world. People are either serfs or meat (fodder). There is a war between families over food supplies. Each family has a Lazarus, which seems to be their 'sword', the point of their army. And they are able to regenerate when injured. There is also friction within the Family itself, a power struggle of sorts. The story held my interest enough that I may get others in the series. less
