It all culminates here, as Lazarus battles Lazarus, and Forever ends the war. Forever Carlyle is a Lazarus, genetically engineered to be an unkillable weapon wielded by the Carlyle Family. Controlled by the mechanisms of her father, Malcolm Carlyle, she has inched ever closer to the truth not only of herself, but of the world the Families have made—a world where very few hold dominion over everything and everyone. In the unending hunger for more, the Families have waged war the last several years. Amidst this carnage, Forever has discovered truths not just about herself but about her thirteen-year-old "sister," Eight, the clone being groomed to eventually replace her. Now, in alliance with her sister Johanna, the acting Head of the Carlyle Family, Forever has a plan. If it works, the war will end, Carlyle will triumph, and most importantly, Forever and Eight will obtain what they have been denied—they will move from slavery to freedom. But every family has its secrets, and every secret has its cost. Her father has a plan, too, one that involves his eternal rival, Jakob Hock. Truth, like freedom, will be paid for in blood… This fourth deluxe edition collects LAZARUS #27 and #28, and for the first time, the complete seven-issue run of LAZARUS: RISEN, with extras.
