Created in 2013 by Greg RUCKA & Michael LARK, the series LAZARUS was, with SAGA by Brian K. VAUGHAN and Fiona STAPLES, one of the embodiments of the creative revival then underway at publisher Image Comics.
The series has since confirmed its status as essential reference in terms of science fiction, all media combined.
Imagine a world under the empire of the largest multinationals erected into family dynasties, since the fall of governments.
Imagine a neo-feudal world where the active population would henceforth be reduced to a state of serfdom, where the poorest would be parked in immense sterile expanses and relegated to the state of “waste”.
Well, imagine no more because this world exists… soon.
Illustrating a near future far too dystopian to believe, the ultra-realism of LAZARUS has however fascinated thousands of readers by the strength of its main character, Forever Carlyle, but also by the brutality of this world whose sociological, economic, scientific, climatic and political details have been thought out and assembled by its creators. into a frighteningly coherent whole. About this realism, Greg RUCKA also confided in an interview that following the election of Donald TRUMP as head of the United States in 2016, LAZARUS had gone from being a dystopian SF story to a documentary…
If the construction of universes such as William GIBSON might imagine for his novel Neuromancer or if the movie Children of Men by Alfonso CUARON are references for you, LAZARUS should easily find its place in your personal pantheon. The series has in any case made a central place in our ideal library for a long time. Also, we are particularly pleased to welcome LAZARUS in our catalog!
The first volume of our edition of LAZARUS will integrate the July 7 next notre collection Grand Format Urban (THE NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE, ALL THE DEATHS OF LAILA STARR) and will include episodes #1-9, equivalent to the US edition Lazarus : The First Collectionand the equivalent of volumes 1 and 2 of the previous edition.
In parallel with the publication of our full edition, and to satisfy the readers of the first hour, we will ensure the continuity of their series in the format of the previous publisher (with a white back). Thus, we will also publish volume 8 of the series on July 7, 2023, the equivalent of American volume 7 including Lazarus #27–28 + Lazarus: I rise #5–7. Volume 9 is to be published in 2024.
Happy reading and happy ending of the m… Oh no, we already did that one for you ^^

Discover Lazarus
In a dystopian future where governments have become old-fashioned concepts, a handful of families rule with money and power, jealously guarding what they have and exploiting the have-nots, the “trash “. The Carlyle family is one of the most powerful of them, thanks to a weighty asset: Forever Carlyle, their protector, their Lazarus, trained since childhood to defend the property of his family by cunning and force. Manipulated both genetically and psychically, her exceptional abilities make her a formidable asset… as long as the secrets that surround her do not come to light.
Discover Lazarus – volume 8
Joint assaults by Johanna and Forever, Head and Lazarus of the Carlyle family respectively, resulted in their clan winning several decisive battles, primarily targeting the opposing Lazarus. Now is the time to launch an all-out offensive on all fronts, in hopes of finally ending the Conclave War. But Forever, the ultimate and decisive weapon instrumentalized since childhood, is gradually lifting the veil on its origins… Will these secrets, buried for too long, undermine the legendary loyalty of the Carlyle’s greatest warlord?
