Quite simply, Lazarus is something everyone should read. The art work is stunning, the world is a frightening realization of our own taken to one extreme, the characters are engaging and the creators are putting out a comic that will be remembered very fondly for years to come. Read Full Review

Lazarus #10 is a very dark read, but for anyone who has been following Lazarus, there has been no doubt this was coming. Jonah's situation is going to create an interesting next few issues and future for the Carlyles, and I can't wait to see where Rucka and Lark are taking this next. Read Full Review

Lazarus #10 is chillingly cohesive and a shining installment of what this title has to offer. Time to jump on if you haven't already - you'll leave this issue dying to know what happens next. Read Full Review

The other highlight of this issue was seeing Jonah slowly realize that his self worth is not at all what he calculated, at least in the eyes of his new hosts. After finally getting a face to face with Jakob Hock it begins to dawn on Jonah and the reader he has nothing to bargain with; Jonah is essentially useless to Hock. That is except as a tool. Hock seems to be a calculating manipulative despot, in other words a good match for his rival Malcolm Carlyle. Now with Jonah as a captivehe has a certain leverage over Carlyle, but not in the way you might think. Lazarus #10 is an excellent read which is even more rewarding for people who have been faithfully reading the series. With new characters and a glimpse into more of the terrifying world, this issue packs a punch. I highly recommend this issue. Read Full Review

A good setup issue for bigger things to come, though the dark subject matter can mean its a tough read for some. Read Full Review

Lazarus #10 is a stepping stone and necessary setup issue to get the ball rolling for the next arc. It goes by quickly, but it leaves a big impression and gets you hyped for the next arc to see the fallout from this issue happen. It's not as exciting as other issues are in the series, but it's still one you shouldn't miss. Read Full Review

"Lazarus" #10 is well-placed to create anticipation for the upcoming "Conclave" arc. I'm fascinated to see what Jonah's body is hiding that's so valuable, and what the larger international Family political landscape -- thus far only hinted at in the back material -- looks like. Read Full Review

Lazarus takes us on a one-shot trip, showing what has happened to Jonah recently. Though it doesn't ring the same bells as some previous issues, it does do a great job of building suspense, and setting up the next arc. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

A common complaint about "Lazarus" is that it has seemed directionless, and while I greatly enjoy the world Rucka and Lark have built, I can see why one might say that. However, this one-and-done of sorts puts us back on the rails, seemingly setting the course of the book to come. Better late than never! Read Full Review

LAZARUS enters its third arc and second year with this issue, and it's still very much going strong. I love getting to know more about the vast, rich world that LAZARUS inhabits, and issues like this one -- which convey a ton of information about how things work outside of Carlyle territory -- are great for that. It's also a great time to circle back to Jonah Carlyle, since he's been stewing for a bit after his failed plot. Rucka and Lark tee up another interesting arc, and it looks like we're on the path towards some sort of Five Families-esque meeting with the upcoming Conclave. Intriguing? You bet. Read Full Review

Still, Im intrigued by the glimpse readers are getting of the other families in Lazarus. Having already survived an assault from within his own family (and still with the traitorous Johanna inside), will Malcolm Carlyle and Forever be able to take a unified front from other powerful families? This seems to be the next big move for the series, one that seems like it will lead to some strong future issues of Lazarus. Read Full Review

Were roughly a year into the publication history of Lazarus, and its certainly hitting a lot of the right notes. It just needs a bit more oomf to push it into the big leagues. Read Full Review

A side issue, but decent.

This was an interesting little tale that sets up the next arc. Essentially, we get to wallow in schadenfreude as we see the most deplorable character in the book undergo a series of abuses and experience some comeuppance for once in his life. A couple interesting items were revealed that I was not aware of, including that Jonah (and by extension other Carlyles) is much older that he appears, and that his genetic makeup holds some long-held secret. Lark is just a master of visual storytelling. The snapshots he choose are perfect, so that I never wonder "what's going on here?" It's always crystal clear via character acting and environmental detail. But on the down side, this visual smoothness may have contributed to the sense that this was a unusually quick read with seemingly less substance than your typical comic. In this case, the pro well outweighs the con. more
