Currently Reading: Lazarus vol #1 and The Tyrant's Daughter

Lazarus, Vol. 1: Family

Okay, I'm going to attempt reading this again. I had to buy the trade edition because my copy of the 4th issue had been damaged and I couldn't read it.

Book: Lazarus volume #1: Family (issues #1-4) by Greg Rucka with illustrations by Michael Lark and colors by Santi Arcas

Edition: I'm reading the trade

Description:

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. Shot dead defending the family home, Forever's day goes downhill from there...




This seems like it will be interesting, looking forward to reading it.

Book: The Tyrant's Daughter by J.C. Carleson

Source: Borrowed from Publisher/NetGalley for an honest review

Publication: Available now

Description:

From a former CIA officer comes the riveting account of a royal Middle Eastern family exiled to the American suburbs.

When her father is killed in a coup, 15-year-old Laila flees from the war-torn middle east to a life of exile and anonymity in the U.S. Gradually she adjusts to a new school, new friends, and a new culture, but while Laila sees opportunity in her new life, her mother is focused on the past. She’s conspiring with CIA operatives and rebel factions to regain the throne their family lost. Laila can’t bear to stand still as an international crisis takes shape around her, but how can one girl stop a conflict that spans generations?
