    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Oct 9, 2024

    Image and Skybound continue to dive into the Energon Universe with the completion of another mini-series featuring another member of the extended cast. Whats frustrating here is the fact that the market may NOT be up to the task of maintaining all of the series that theyve developed as ongoing titles. It would be really, really cool to see Thompson and Ferrari continue with the adventures of Scarlett. Shes really fun as a covert agent breaking into a secure facility. It would be really interesting to see what else Thompson could do with her. Read Full Review

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Jan 1, 1970

    Until this its hard to view Scarlett #5 as feeling somewhat incomplete. Clearly the story of these characters hasnt been finished and Thompson has them in an intriguing position, but a clearer reveal of whats to come would have been welcome. Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Christopher Mills Oct 9, 2024

    Scarlett #5 leaves us off with a conclusion that greatly affects the future of the Energon Universe. Kelly Thompson still feels like the best writer for Scarlett and manages to deliver on this ending but still suffers from providing any personal stakes for the central characters, making the overall read for readers less engaging than it needs to be.  Read Full Review

    Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez Oct 9, 2024

    SCARLETT #5 is a pure dud of a finale to a miniseries that was misconceived and mishandled from the beginning. Kelly Thomspon's script injects nonsensical action to distract away from the fact that Scarlett had no role to play in her own story, but at least the art has steadily improved since issue #1.
