A red-head who kills... She has her reasons!The Good Scarlet is an interesting character who has a messed up past. Bendis creates a not so original idea (breaking the 4th wall) in an original matter. This is an origin book, where the story is told by the main character in a way breaking the 4th wall without the need of sounding like Deadpool!

Now she's coming for you!The Bad Like I said this is an origin book so not much happens in the book, but it explains why this character is as messed up as it is. No a great cliffhanger though, she just acknowledge what she good at doing, almost seemed like; "I'm coming to get you". It is almost as if she is the female version of the Punisher, but I trust Bendis won't make a copy of the character and make it a female. One issue in and that's what it seems, lets hope I am wrong!
The Verdict - 3.5 out of 5 There's nothing that really happens in this book in terms of story development but there is a lot of character development which is something I appreciated. This book has potential of being a great story, I hope the issues after this the one will get better!

In Scarlet's case, I'm not sure which she is and I have this strange need, to stick her into one of those tight neat little boxes (I hate little boxes). That is unusual for me, typically I WANT moral diversity. It's those moments when a villain or hero surprises me, makes an unexpected choice, which shows their...
From the very first page where our heroine is just finishing off choking some random dude to death. This first issue explodes with the harshness of a "broken world" and gives us a strong look at the main character teasing us with hints about her motivations and context for her personality (which involves a lot of the breaking of the 4th wall). But, at the same time there is still a lot of mystery about who she is and her contextual place in the larger world. Bendis does a superb job of reeling...
