"Rucka's storytelling is comprehensive, weaving sociopolitical rhetoric
and class structure to an extent seldom seen in the medium. Meanwhile,
Lark manages to take Rucka's seriousness to a new level with dark edges,
shadowy panels, and ferociously kinetic action. Each page turn is
cinematic, just another reason this book might appeal to cross-platform
fans of crime movies and TV programs, such as The Godfather or True
Detective, as well as police procedural comics, such as Rucka's Gotham
Central or Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's Powers."

In a dystopian near-future, government is a quaint concept, resources
are coveted, and possession is 100% of the law. A handful of Families
rule, jealously guarding what they have and exploiting the Waste who
struggle to survive in their domains. Forever Carlyle defends her
family's holdings through deception and force as their protector, their
Lazarus. The 16 Families have gathered together in the exclusive luxury
confines of Triton One to resolve the emerging conflict between Carlyle
and Hock, and they've brought their Lazari with them. While Forever's
romance with the Morray Lazarus, Joacquim, continues to blossom, she
finds herself not only questioning her identity, but also her loyalty to
her Family and her father, Malcolm, when orders her to kill her brother,
Jonah.
Collecting issues #10-15 of the critically acclaimed, New York Times
