And one of the other 'good guys' in this story is a Black woman with an Afro, what more could we ask for? There's a new red-head badass in comic-doom and her name is Scarlet Rue. as well as one for herself to get revenge.

I'd like to see where this all goes, but I wasn't quite as blown away as some of my friends by this first book.moreįrom the creative team that brought us the best Daredevil run ever (sorry Frank Miller!), we have this - extreme police brutality, violence and corruption sees Scarlet Rue decide that she wants to fight back, but when the system is completely stacked against you, how can you fight back? Scarlet decides on killing a dirty cop!!!!!

Scarlet decides on killing a dirty cop!!!!!Ī fourth wall breaking, Alex Maleev drawn understated, Brian Michael Bendis subtle written near-masterpiece - in just a few pages we get wonderful little biographies of some of our main protagonists we get beautiful panel by panel shots of time passing and hair growing (read the book) we even get the political class stumbling over how to react, in neatly crafted Bendis' dialogue - but more than anything we get an angry, but bright and forthright woman use what we all have access to (friends, technology, social media) to give the under trodden a platform to air their grievance. I get the appeal of it, I really do, but I'm not sure how believable it is in this setting.Īnyway. They're already pissed off at and now that they got the 'protection' of like-minded humans around them, all of them feeding off of each other's energy? Shit tends to go sideways and the wrong people get hurt.īut then again, sometimes change needs to happen, and change is never something easy or painless.įor corruption, though? I would think a different tactic might work better than mob violence. From what I've seen over the course of my life, it's almost never a good idea to rile up a group of folks who are bunched up together protesting something. It wasn't the vigilante stuff that I thought was over the top, it was the 'revolution' stuff that kind of made the story go off the rails for me.Īre you really going to accomplish much by getting a mob together? Ehhhhhh. If somebody killed someone I love on purpose, I would probably kill them right back, too. And poor Scarlet found out the hard way that good people get their lives ruined by these sort of assholes every day.Īnd.yeah. That's the stupidest reasoning I've ever heard, Anne!Ĭorrupt cops suck.
See, (and I just realized this!) I was looking at a redhead on the cover, putting Bendis with Marvel, and then seeing the actress who plays Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) in my head. It's because my subconscious is a tad stupid. That's a very good question, Random Goodreader. And, yes, I did read that part when I grabbed it, but I also thought this was somehow a retelling of Natasha Romanoff's backstory. This is, as the description clearly states, a story about a young woman who decides the system is broken and starts a 'revolution'. <-and have no one to blame but myself for not figuring this out until I had the book in my hands. I thought this was Bendis' take on Black Widow. Why the hell would you think that, Anne? That's a very good q So.
