In a future where nation-states have collapsed and corporate families rule their territories as feudal domains, Forever Carlyle serves as her family's Lazarus, their genetically enhanced warrior and executioner. Writer Greg Rucka and artist Michael Lark create a dystopia that feels uncomfortably plausible, extrapolating current trends of inequality and privatization to their logical endpoint. The population is divided into Family members, Serfs who serve useful functions, and Waste, the majority deemed economically worthless. Forever believes herself to be Malcolm Carlyle's daughter, raised from childhood to kill and die for the family. But as she carries out her duties, executing rivals and suppressing dissent, she begins to question the system she enforces and the family that created her. Lark's art brings a noir sensibility to the science fiction setting, his detailed linework rendering both intimate conversations and explosive action sequences with equal facility. Rucka, known for his work on crime and espionage comics, brings that genre's moral complexity to a setting where everyone is compromised by the structures they inhabit. The series explores loyalty, identity, and whether individual integrity is possible within corrupt institutions. Secondary characters, particularly the Waste who become radicalized by their treatment, prevent the story from focusing solely on elite concerns. Readers who appreciate thoughtful science fiction that engages with politics and class will find Lazarus compelling.
