Strong start, nicely dark imagery, very violent. I like it very muchthe line art, the dark colours, the gorgeous sunsets, interesting plot.There is enough world building to give a general feel for the setting, but I would like more backstory. How did we come to end up in this world, where a few families rule, supported by a few serfs and a large populace of waste, that seems to live in squalor. Despicable, calling the general populace waste!Forevers family is all kinds of horrible, too. She
A promising idea and a promising series!In a post-apocalyptic society, select few families own all the resources, including land and supplies and people. The families have Lazaruses to protect them. My understanding is that a Lazarus is a genetically engineered human that has modifications that allow them to survive major trauma and injuries to the body.

So Eve (or Forever), is the Lazarus of her Family. This means she has special regenerative powers and goes around exacting punishment on folks who betray her mafia-style clan. Evidently, the world is a dystopian wasteland, resources are scarce, and there's
Rucka's built a fascinating world, and he does it, in part, by throwing the reader in head-first. It's the near future, resources are scarce, and government apparently non-existent. Resources are managed by the mafia-like Families, and serving a Family is the only protection you can get. The rest are Waste, and on their own. So many writers would try to pull us in with pages of exposition. Rucka just tosses us in and lets it all unfold around us. I think that's part of why it works so well, and
