31 Upcoming Comic Book TV Shows You Have To See

26. Lazarus

Status: This series is in development by Legendary TV with producer Matt Tolmach. Pitch: An oligarchy of sixteen wealthy families rule the future. Each has a Lazarus, an unkillable, genetically engineered family bodyguard. One of these protectors, Forever Carlyle, uses force, manipulation and deception to safeguard her family and their goals. Odds of Success Onscreen: Somewhat iffy. Writer Greg Rucka knows his stuff, but Lazarus is neither a huge award-winner nor a commercial smash in comics, and Tolmach also produced the last two Amazing Spider-Man movies, AKA "the reasons Sony shared Spidey with Marvel." So there's that.
