Great premise - Cop, kid, spoiled rich girl, & helecopter pilot, all died horrible yet elemental deaths at the same time in different places (rock slide, fire, drowning, etc...)& were reborn w/ a specific uber-element inside. Their homebase was Seattle, WA & some sort of "in the know" professor grouped them & ran the show. Lazurus, whom Christ ressurected, then sort of forgot about, was their main enemy. He was pissed & had an uber-grudge that he was forced into eternal life after being awoken from the slumber of death, then overlooked for 2000 years. They spilled into a few Willingham books at the time (including an adult one called Ironwood) & spent some time in a fairy-type land ful of D&D type situatons. Great art, huge fights, & great writing.
This was back in the great 80's years of the indies. Comico, First, Pacific, Texas, Capital, Atlas + tons more.
