review:
'Scarlet Book One' by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Alex Maleev was an interesting story and not one I expected to see coming from DC.

I'm familiar with Brian Michael Bendis' work at Marvel on titles like Daredevil, The Avengers and others. This time around the character is an original creation, and one who seems to push at boundaries of the comic panels.

When we first meet redheaded Scarlet, she is standing over a corpse and seeming to talk directly to us. Who this woman is and the events that brought her here will be revealed, but she is the victim of a seemingly corrupt system, and she wants our help to do something about it.

It's a striking call for help. Made moreso by Alex Maleev's photorealistic art style. The characters look like they were shot on film, then colored over. As a style here, it's impressive. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this one.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Jinxworld, DC Entertainment, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
