As I laid in bed and began to read Scarlet #1, I came to the realization that this wasn't just an issue that was going to carry me to the wonderful world of sleep land. No, this was Bendis yelling in my face, saying, 'I'm not just Mr. Marvel now. My Indie balls are still big and swinging.'
Immediately I am hit with a character that seemed fresh. Her voice had an authenticity to it. The radical narrative device didn't annoy me like I thought. And most important of all, I forgot Mr. Brian "I write ever Avenger book" Bendis wrote it. It's almost as if this is a long lost project that he and Maleev whipped up before Daredevil.
This new "wall breaking" narrative device gives Bendis the ability to be wordy and kinetic at the same time. You can also feel this in Maleev's artwork. I've noticed that his characters can have a cardboard cut-out look to them (Spider-Woman). I don't know if that is due to a lack of passion or a lack of time. But the world of Scarlet bust off of the page. Maleev's textures on the faces and clothes of the characters give them life. I have always loved his ability to stage the characters in logical posses. He seems to have a brilliant grasp on peoples body langauge. This comes out best in the scene where Gabriel dies. And you can notice that he has a grasp on where the script wants Scarlet to be during these scenes and how she's conveying her emotions in the time.
P.S. I noticed on the Portland Press website, in the book, that iFanboy's own Josh Flanagan penned the
fictional news story. It's so awesome how Bendis throws out little nod's to the comic book press.
