Review: Lazarus X+66 by Greg Rucka, et al.

Synopsis: Six separate stories follow characters old and new from The New York Times bestselling series LAZARUS, shining light into the dark places of the world following the events of The Cull.

Review:  This is a collection of vignettes focusing on several of the side characters from the main LAZARUS storyline. Characters include Casey Solomon as she becomes a Dagger; Joacquim and how he became a Lazarus; Joe and Bobbie (parents of %%%%) and their life after the Lift; Zmey, another Lazarus, and a few other Lazari and how they navigate their family obligation with who they are.
Each story is illustrated by a different author although the stories are all written by Greg Rucka.
For any fan of this series, you must read this. It broadens and deepens the world the Forever Carlyle lives in, fleshes out many of the side characters and gives their interactions with Forever new meaning. And it shows how the other Lazari live, who they are, and why they do what they do.
I particularly enjoyed the story of Casey Solomon and Joacquim, as they are two of my favorite characters.
A Must-Read for fans of this series….
