I seriously thought this was Marisol on the cover.
I've figured Marisol and Forever were related, somehow, for a long time, and while that has not (yet) been confirmed, I wonder if this new haircut is a step in that direction. Though, I suppose, it could just be a way to visually separate Forever.
Anyway, this is an interesting step forward in the story. Not sure just how I feel about the change in format, but it'll give me a good excuse to re-read this one, so I can't really complain!
Dang, this story is killing me. I need the next one! (No, I haven't gotten it yet *childish pout* )

Bloody! As usual!
The story was ok. A lot of set-up. I expected more, especially after the two part prelude with you-know-who...
Great last page! Bold! But a really mean place to interrupt the story. And the whole thing is too short! Perhaps I have to get used to the new format... I still don‘t trust Johanna. ★★★★☆
Additional short story (text): „Your Last Meal On Earth“ by Lisa Sturges. ★★★½☆
The RPG stuff at the end was fun. And the letters. Especially the answer to the last one. ★★★★★
The science bit was mostly depressing. Humans on Mars in my lifetime. Hopefully not just as an escape plan. ★★★★☆
Now we wait for July, for the next Quarterly! Nice cover page!

Looking forward to this a lot! There is a two-part prelude, Lazarus #27 and #28, which might be best read beforehand. If I got my numbering right, this one here would be #29 in the allover series.
