An outbreak at a small American college causes an entire dorm to be quarantined with the students inside, which leads to a violent new social hierarchy within. It’s move-in day, and students from across the country converge on the campus of Yersin University to start the new school year. But after a looming pandemic strikes the college, a single dorm complex is quarantined with all of the students inside, and what first starts as youthful freedom from authority soon devolves into a violent new society. Written by author and playwright Clay McLeod Chapman (American Vampire, The New York Times Critics’ Pick Stump Speeches) and illustrated by Jey Levang, Lazaretto is student body horror taken to the extreme.
