Lädt ... Lazarus Churchyard: The Final Cutvon Warren Ellis, D'Israeli (Illustrator)
![]() Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() Lazarus Churchyard was Warren Ellis' first major creation. In another writer's hands, the concept of a practically-immortal man who can reshape his body at will might have ended up in superhero territory. You know it's Ellis when the hero looks like a zombie Joey Ramone and lives in the desperate underbelly of a violent future Europe. It's good: amazingly good, when you consider how early in his career this was published. You can see the commonalities with Transmetropolitan which he started several years later: transhumanism, a strong, flawed lead, social commentary, robust female characters, wicked wit, tragedy, a fascination with the weird variations of homo sapiens, and a rage at what we do to each other. That said, Lazarus Churchyard is its own animal, and not simply a preparation for Transmet. It feels, in fact, larger than it is; the stories are roughly continuous, but it's amazing how much it feels like outtakes from a long, established series. I don't meant that it's difficult to follow, but that there's a reality to the characters and the setting that seems to extend beyond the borders of the stories we see.
